New 'BayStat' website
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration today launched a new website with data on the Chesapeake Bay's health. "We designed BayStat to help us better coordinate, track, target -- and ultimately improve -- our statewide restoration efforts," O'Malley said.
I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
