The challenge of improving the Chesapeake’s water quality has brought together local, regional, state, and federal actors, including government entities, farmers, environmentalists, and landowners. New initiatives have been fraught with controversy and litigation. The Chesapeake example can provide important lessons for how government agencies and interested stakeholders can address the challenge of improving shared and highly coveted water resources. The goal of this field trip is to talk with scientists, lawyers, and stakeholders involved in the development of water quality plans and recent litigation.
An advance ticket purchase is required for the field trip. Priority is given to law school faculty and space is limited. One ticket per registrant may be pre-purchased and, if space is available, tickets may be purchased on site for spouses/significant others. Price $85.
The bus will board at 8:30 a.m. and depart from the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel from the front lobby entrance.
