CBF is committed to making the Bay and its rivers and streams—from New York to Virginia—healthy and productive again. I share their vision of sustainable populations of crabs, fish, and oysters; of waters where our children and grandchildren can swim safely.
CBF is funded mostly by individual donors like you and me. Donations large and small help support CBF's on-the-water field experiences for students and teachers, tree plantings, oyster restoration, advocacy for stronger laws protecting the Bay, and litigation against polluters when necessary.
- $25 can plant five native trees as a streamside buffer.
- $50 can grow 5,000 native oysters.
- $140 can send two students for a day of learning in and around the Bay.
- $500 can build 10 reef balls which are effective and safe artificial homes for oysters.

How I Began
I had no knowledge of the Chesapeake bays plights and troubles until my science teacher Mrs. Thumser taught us about the bay and its issues. I asked her what I could do to help and she told me about CBF's efforts to save the bay and that I should start there. Usually teachers don't want to give students extra information because it takes time away from something else or they don't have the information to begin with. But Mrs. Thumser answered all of my questions and was so supportive when I told her what I was doing. Everything that i'm doing right now to help the bay is because of Mrs. Thumser and I am so grateful.
