Working with others, we have been successful in having the Severn Sound area delisted as an Area of Concern. Our success in large measure comes from an innovative and collaborative governance model that has, since its inception, focused on partnerships and producing results. This combined with our dedicated team of expert staff has allowed us and our partners, to be champions for Severn Sound. We continue to monitor water quality, fish and habitat and our efforts with others have resulted in extensive tree plantings, land stewardship, sustainability and source water protection initiatives, all designed to leave a lasting and improved environmental legacy for the next generation.<\/span><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-522ad664 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"522ad664\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-400d7e54\" data-id=\"400d7e54\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47b4c51b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47b4c51b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">You have the power to help make Severn Sound the most resilient and thriving Great Lakes watershed.<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Severn Sound Environmental Association Growing a Green Legacy:Tree Planting Made Simple step-by-step How to More news Follow Us Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Current Midland Weather Information MORE WEATHER INFO WATER LEVELS MONITORING RESULTS REPORTS FACTSHEETS VIDEOS Strategic Plan Renewal The Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) is renewing its Strategic Plan.
