Solutions to Nitrogen Pollution: Solving the Cranberry Puzzle

Decision Makers Workshop]

Most of the Bay’s nitrogen pollution comes from wastewater, including
septic systems and wastewater treatment plants. Other land sources include
lawns, farm fields, and stormwater runoff. But there’s another piece of the
nitrogen pollution puzzle that’s been harder to pinpoint: cranberry bogs.

Now, new research is beginning to help scientists, cranberry growers, and
decision makers better understand the amount of nitrogen flowing in and out
of cranberry bogs.

This workshop will share new and ongoing research by scientists and
cranberry growers to better understand the potential impact of cranberry
bogs on local water quality and discuss emerging ideas about bog management
techniques that might reduce or eliminate those impacts.

Registration is requested for this workshop. To sign up, contact Rob Hancock
