Chesapeake Bay Summit 2024 | Full Program

For decades, efforts to clean up the nation's largest estuary have centered on a simple premise: reduce pollution, restore the Chesapeake Bay. Environmental advocates charted a course for a return to the Chesapeake of centuries past, citing Captain John Smith’s famous 1608 voyage through pristine waterways replete with fish, oysters and crabs. Pollution reduction milestones were developed, and deadlines set - the next, fast-approaching, in 2025.
But experts now say those 2025 milestones won't be met. What's more, recent reports have called both our current course - and expectations about restoration - into question. Why has progress been slower than expected? What new approaches and technologies are needed for better results? What does a healthier Bay of tomorrow look like? And how do we correct course?
Join Maryland Public Television host Frank Sesno and some of the world's foremost experts on the Chesapeake Bay in a provocative forum as they explore and dissect these complex questions in front of a studio audience.
