Environmental activists seek tweaks to Chesapeake Bay Trust Fund law

From forest land owners to counties to oyster farmers, everyone wants a piece of the pie. But with just $50 million allotted in the new Chesapeake Bay 2010 Trust Fund, lawmakers are trying to determine the best way to allocate the money for Bay restoration.

“If we don?t focus this on key, cost-effective practices … we?re not going to change the landscape” of the Bay, Department of Natural Resources Secretary John Griffin said to a Senate committee.
