This morning I attended the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's rally to Save the Bay. The rally was a lead-up to today's meeting of the Executive Council of the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program. On Oct. 29, the CBF, along with its allies, filed a notice of intent to sue the EPA for its failure to enforce the federal Clean Water Act and clean up the Bay by 2010 as it promised in a 2000 agreement.

There were a few hundred people gathered outside Union Station, most wearing symbolically black shirts with the words, "The Bay is Slowly Dying" and chanting "Don't Delay! Save the Bay!"

Ok, I can't resist -- one more seafood post today.

The EPA has a new web site, Fish Kids, to teach kids about mercury in seafood. There are animated games and stories that drive home the lessons to watch out for mercury.

My favorite part? It's all about the adventures of the Fisher family... which happens to be the last name of yours truly.
