Environmental Protection and Restoration (EPR), continued from page 2: To achieve its objectives, the department utilizes a team of lawyers, water quality and restoration scientists, outreach experts, citizen organizers, lobbyists, and policy specialists with expertise in fisheries, pollution reduction, land use, and agriculture. Their focus is local, state, and federal government policies; private sector practices; and citizen engagement. The Program develops and employs strategies and tactics designed to define the necessary governmental policies and programs, create the needed "political will" to ensure implementation of these policies and programs, and organizes CBF members to interact with decision-makers. When appropriate, the department uses the law as a tool to protect and preserve the Chesapeake Bay.
This 501(c)(3) elected the 501(h) safe-harbor — lobbying expenditures are capped under a clear dollar formula instead of the "insubstantial part" standard.
