| | Chesapeake Bay Journal: Environmental issues in the 1998 Maryland General Assembly - May 1998 |
 | | While much of the attention in Maryland was focused on pfiesteria and nutrient management legislation, the General Assembly also adopted a three-part bill to improve fisheries management, including limited entry to commercial fisheries, apprenticeship to the commercial fisheries, and a noncommercial crabbing license. |
 | | The trust is a private, nonprofit, grant-making foundation, established in 1985, that awards grants for projects to schools, nonprofit organizations, community associations and public agencies that contribute to restoration of the Bay. |
 | | The bill would have increased the maximum penalties in Maryland for knowingly violating provisions of law dealing with water pollution control, drinking water, and tidal and nontidal wetlands. |
