National Fish Habitat Award for Outreach and Education
On April 28, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) was presented with the First Annual National Fish Habitat Award for Outreach and Education. CBF received the award for their Oyster Trail Project, which was funded through Restore America's Estuaries and NOAA. The Oyster Trail is a permanent, self-guided, interpretive trail to educate students and visitors about oyster ecology, protection, and restoration. This project galvanizes community support for habitat conservation and increases the adoption of more sustainable behavior by those who live within the Bay's watershed.
