A consortium of senior Chesapeake Bay scientists, policy makers, and Bay advocates meeting in Annapolis called for an end to the politics of postponement and urged the Obama Administration and the Bay states to adopt 24 bold new initiatives to restore the Chesapeake Bay. The group cited the failure of the 26 year old voluntary, collaborative approach under the EPA Bay Program and the repeated failure of the states and federal government to meet deadlines for pollution reduction goals, including the recent postponement until 2025 of Bay clean-up goals set in 2000 for 2010.
