Fight for the Bay by Dr. Howard Ernst
Annapolis Maritime Museum Seminar
Followed by a Green Drinks Extra reception (cash bar)

Thursday, January 28
7 - 8:30 p.m., McNasby Oyster Company Building
AMM Campus, 723 Second Street, Annapolis

Dr. Ernst, who currently serves as an associate professor of political science at the US Naval Academy and as a Senior Scholar at University of Virginia's Center for Politics, will discuss his latest book, Fight for the Bay: Why a Dark Green Environmental Awakening is Needed to Save the Chesapeake Bay. Ernst is best known for his work in the area of environmental politics and is considered a leading authority on the Chesapeake Bay restoration program. His new book pulls no punches. Fight for the Bay describes the Chesapeake as "functionally dead," an ecological zombie that has succumbed to a "light-green" environmental movement that too often adopted a philosophy of compromise over confrontation.
