A small wetland is hemmed in by new houses in a subdivision in Delmar, DE. For Delaware’s wetland advocates, the seventh time was the charm. Six previous legislative attempts to enact state-level freshwater wetland protections had come up short. But on July 1, the General Assembly passed the Wetlands Stewardship Act, creating the state’s first nontidal wetlands regulatory program.

Trey Sherard pushed his Carolina skiff around the tip of Kingman Island, leaving the Anacostia River behind and entering Kingman Lake. It’s a lake in name only because it’s connected to the river’s mainstem on both sides of the island. And Kingman Island itself isn’t a naturally created island.

‘Wildlands’ in Western Maryland imperiled by transmission line

Steve Storck of Garrett County, MD, describes the proposed route for a transmission line through state-designated wildlands. The line would largely serve data centers in Northern Virginia. Through acts of the Maryland General Assembly, thousands of acres of forests in Western Maryland have been preserved as “wildlands.” State law requires those lands to be managed in a way that “will leave them unimpaired” for future generations.

Researchers: Look for a smaller dead zone in the Chesapeake Bay this summer

May 25, 2026 |

By Jeremy Cox , Dave Harp

| Maryland Matters

By Jeremy Cox The drought that has plagued much of the Chesapeake Bay’s watershed during the first half of this year is causing strains to drinking water supplies, hurting crop output and leaving many rafters and boaters high and dry. But there’s an upside. Low river flows during the late winter and early spring led to reduced amounts of nutrient pollution flowing into the Chesapeake Bay. As a result, scientists say, the Bay’s annual “dead zone” could rank among the smallest on record.

Amid oyster bounty, Chesapeake Bay watermen suffer dismal harvest

It’s the best of times in recent memory for Chesapeake Bay oysters. It’s just the opposite, though, for the Maryland and Virginia watermen who make a living harvesting them. The bay’s oysters have recovered from the MSX and Dermo diseases that decimated the population a little more than two decades ago. Recent reef surveys found them more abundant and fecund than they’ve been since the diseases hit in the late 1980s.
