A new measure signed into law will improve wetland conservation and restoration efforts, said Gov. Larry Hogan.
The Nontidal Wetlands Mitigation Banking Bill “removes obstacles and clarifies policies to spur more public-private partnerships and wetlands protection projects,” according to the Maryland Department of the Environment.
Hogan said the bill is an example of environmentalists, developers and engineers working together to improve the environment and the economy.
“This bill is living proof our state is open for business and committed to the environment,” Hogan said. “This is good news for our state, the Chesapeake Bay and the local watersheds throughout Maryland.”
