The 9th Annual Choose Clean Water Conference was held on Tuesday, May 22 - Wednesday, May 23 at the Lancaster Marriott in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Each year, the Coalition’s Choose Clean Water Conference brings together a comprehensive and diverse group of more than 300 people from throughout the Chesapeake Bay region. The conference provides a two-day forum for participants to learn about the most important and up-to-date Chesapeake restoration issues, network with fellow Chesapeake Bay supporters and activists, develop strategies to advance federal, regional and local restoration goals, and learn from successes.
