From the Baltimore Sun:
“The U.S. Department of Interior has awarded more than $7 million to four projects in Maryland aimed at guarding Chesapeake Bay shoreline and habitat against future severe storms. The funding is part of $107 million in “coastal resilience” grants distributed among 11 states — from Massachusetts to Virginia and west to Ohio — to help protect them from the kind of damage wrought by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.”
Maryland will use the funds towards green infrastructure, removing invasive species, removing a dam, and other shoreline enhancements.
