What will it take to make real progress in cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay? After decades of broken promises, is the federal government's new push going to be enough to finally make a difference? Dan and Midday contributor Rona Kobell, of the Bay Journal, speak with Rena Steinzor,  co-author of "Getting Serious About Saving the Chesapeake Bay," February Abell Foundation report, which examines efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency and bay states to improve the health of the Chesapeake.

How do you restore an urban river? Very slowly. But it happened in Norfolk and Boston. Environmental reporter and Midday contributor Rona Kobell of The Bay Journal returns for another edition of Midday on the Bay to talk with leaders of these two river restoration projects: Marjorie Mayfield Jackson, founder of the Elizabeth River Project in Norfolk, and Bob Zimmerman, longtime executive director of the Charles River Watershed Association in Boston.
