As we retrace prior steps, look at legislation and investments that have cleared the way for restoration of great natural resources, like Narraganset Bay, and hope that this administration, and Congress, take similar steps to preserve and enhance key resources that carry our environmental and economic futures.
Send us what you consider key steps, and investments, made by past leaders.
"In the 1980s, Congress determined that key estuaries across the United States were threatened and so drafted legislation that was included in the 1987 amendments to the federal Clean Water Act. This legislation created the National Estuary Program, and Narragansett Bay was one of the first four estuaries to be included in the program."
