This article from the Virginian Pilot emphasizes the need for increased citizen action, whereas a lot of the discussions in the Annapolis area tend to focus on what government can or should do. . . .  we need to see more publicity for major direct citizen action projects and programs such as the Watershed Stewards Academy and the Church Creek Plan of the South River Federation.  AND the obligations of landowners on these waters to contribute directly to solving the problem.
