The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), with headquarters in Annapolis, Md., is the only independent 501(c)(3) organization dedicated solely to restoring and protecting the Chesapeake Bay and its tributary rivers. The organization's mission is to restore and sustain the Bay's ecosystem by substantially improving the water quality and productivity of the watershed and to maintain a high quality of life for the people of the Chesapeake Bay region. To achieve its mission, CBF seeks to reduce pollution, restore habitat and replenish fish stocks, and educate and engage constituents to take action for the Bay through blogs and other activism. CBF measures the health of the Bay in its annual State of the Bay Report. Fewer than one-third of the bay's water quality goals have been met, according to the 2006 report card from the federal- and state-funded bay program. More than half of the bay's tributaries carry warnings against eating fish because of chemical pollution. Over the course 2006, the critical habitat of underwater grasses declined to its lowest acreage since 1989.
