“The Chesapeake Bay has been such a big part of my life in terms of where I live, recreate, and experience the outdoors. This position allows me to align my passion with my experience,” Marshall said. “I’m looking forward to working with CBF staff to establish a people-centric approach to saving the Bay and ensure that communities affected by pollution benefit from the Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Blueprint. I want to empower the folks who are engaging in that mission.”
