Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay

Alliance for the Chesapeake BayThe Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay is a regional nonprofit organization that builds and fosters partnerships to protect and to restore the Bay and its rivers. The Alliance does not lobby or litigate. Instead, we do the slow, hard work of bridging dialogue between groups that don’t see eye-to-eye, forming strategies for joint solutions, and building the capacity of communities for local-level action.

The Alliance is unique in its focus on collaboration to address issues that affect the Bay and its streams and rivers. We engage, educate, partner and inspire through our work with other organizations, communities, businesses and individuals. Our strength is in developing innovative solutions that can be implemented to protect the Bay. We believe long-term strategies and actions to protect and enhance the Bay can be achieved through collaboration and common goals.
