Chesapeake Bay earns highest health grade in 40 years
Original: Chesapeake Bay earns highest health grade in 40 years, though local trouble spots remain
The Chesapeake Bay has received its highest overall health grade in four decades, a sign that long-running restoration efforts are paying off.

Why now: A major environmental milestone in the bay's recovery is drawing attention to both progress and lingering problems.
