so go on in and declare your favorite
!
Voting ends
this Friday
at 5:00 p.m. EST.
With this year’s contest, we’ve been able to see the Bay, its rivers and streams, and its wildlife through the lens of fellow water lovers—literally. It’s been inspiring, and I personally feel a renewed sense of commitment to ensuring we work as hard as we can to restore the Bay and fight for clean water and clean air for all of us who call this beautiful region home. I hope you do, too.
