Take Action! 

Instructions: send the attached fax to Mary Owens at 
the Critical Area Commission. 
http://www.cbf.org/site/R?i=AT0VjC-jpmkcq_3YgWHSew.. 

Goal: 
To get 300 faxes into her office by the July 25th deadline. 

Proposed New Policy Could Weaken Critical Area 
Take action before July 25, 2005 deadline 

Maryland's Critical Area Commission has drafted a new policy to allow 
golf courses to be built in the part of the critical area designated 
for resource conservation. The draft policy needs strengthening, 
and your comments can help ensure that. 
http://www.cbf.org/site/R?i=GSZvG5FW42y1gFG5KTk0kQ.. 

The critical area extends 1,000' landward from mean high tide on 
the lands along the Chesapeake and Atlantic coastal bays and their 
tidal tributaries. Critical area regulations restrict development to 
protect water quality and shoreline habitats. This is the buffer that 
acts as a filter, keeping pollution from entering the Bay. Rules 
allowing building in the critical area need to be strong. 

Enclosed is a letter that can be automatically faxed to the commission 
or your can edit it to add your own thoughts. Please help ensure that 
the new rules help protect the resource by sending in your comments 
today.
