The Chesapeake Bay is slated to get $50 million in funding from an Interior Dept. appropriations bill that was signed by Pres. Obama late last week. 

The Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network will receive $1 million, much of which goes to support programs and projects at more than 160 parks, wildlife refuges, museums and water trails in the 64,000 square mile Bay Watershed.
