Western Shore Watershed
The EPA defines the Western Shore as the land from Harford County down to Calvert County's bayfront communities.
Oxygen levels in the Chesapeake bay are a continuing concern. As of 2010, the EPA is introducing new laws to reduce Western Shore nitrogen pollutants released into the bay from 16.89 million lbs per year to 9.74 million lbs per year. The laws would also restrict phosphorus pollutants from 830,000 lbs per year to 460,000 lbs per year.
