(Original airdate: Dec. 5, 2023.) Climate change, driven by human activity, has upset the balance of ecosystems and natural processes the world over. In the Chesapeake Bay, changes to the natural environment that usually occur over hundreds or thousands of years are taking place in the span of a lifetime. Sea-level rise is causing salty ocean water to crawl farther and farther into the bay and onto nearby coastlands. Jeremy Cox is a Chesapeake Bay Journal staff writer who has written about saltwater intrusion. Some of the oldest farmland in the country is on the Delmarva peninsula, and threatened by eroding coast lands and saltwater. Bob Fitzgerald lives on the Eastern Shore in Somerset County. His family has farmed in the same area for many generations. And Sarah Hirsh, Ph.D., has been an extension educator for University of Maryland in Somerset County since 2018. Her research and Extension program focuses on soils, conservation and cover crops. (Photo by Julio Cortez, AP)Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?

For decades many federal agencies have been prohibiting reporters from talking to anyone without first requesting access through a public information officer (PIO). And over those years, these “PIO chokepoints” have gotten tighter and tighter, including oversight on conversations and demands for questions ahead of any interview.  Reporters today are often not allowed to speak to anyone, even after acquiescing to censorship and controls. First Amendment attorney and head of the Brechner Center, Frank LoMonte, wrote in a 2019 article: “Although the practice of gagging public employees from giving unapproved interviews is pervasive across all levels of government, decades' worth of First Amendment caselaw demonstrates that blanket restrictions on speaking to the media are legally unenforceable.”   In July, twenty-five journalism organizations, including the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) and the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) ,  called on the Biden administration to end these prohibitions and allow reporters to interview government sources without oversight. In this 104th episode of “E&P Reports,” publisher Mike Blinder speaks with SPJ immediate past president and opinion editor at the San Diego News and Tribune, Matt Hall along with Chair of the SEJ and an editor at the Chesapeake Bay Journal, Tim Wheeler about how their two organizations (along with others) are working towards helping the industry

Part 4 of the Wednesday Workshop: Covering Indian Country, Public Lands and Environmental Justice in the West Mining Public Records for Stories on Public Lands News is about change, and there’s been a whole lotta change in the management of U.S. public lands lately. The Trump administration is moving to open millions of acres to oil and gas development and recently put an outspoken critic of public lands in power at the Bureau of Land Management. This session will offer tips on how to dig out stories about what’s happening and what’s at stake. >> Resources (PDF) Moderator: Tim Wheeler, Managing Editor, (Chesapeake) Bay Journal and Chair, Freedom of Information Task Force, Society of Environmental Journalists Speakers: Jimmy Tobias, Independent Reporter Tim Whitehouse, Executive Director, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility Laurel Williams, US Public Lands and Rivers Conservation Program, The Pew Charitable Trusts

Are Maryland farmers and Baltimore entrepreneurs missing a big economic opportunity by not growing and processing hemp for the commercial market? A report commissioned by the Abell Foundation concludes that hemp-marijuana confusion, along with a federal prohibition, form obstacles to a new branch of environmentally-friendly agriculture that could augment the income of Maryland farmers and spawn new businesses. Kentucky has already moved forward with growing hemp, despite the federal ban against the fibrous cannabis. Rona Kobell, reporter for the Chesapeake Bay Journal, joins Dan to talk about hemp’s potential. She wrote the Abell report. "Hemp offers opportunities for new products, good jobs, wellness, an improved environment and healthier soils," the report says. "It can help farmers diversify and keep their land in agriculture. It can jump start entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that process and transport hemp. And it can keep more Baltimore college graduates in the city to pursue careers in botanicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing."Links:http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-fine-hemp-marijuana-legalize-20140626-story.htmlhttp://www.abell.org/publications/hope-hemp-misunderstood-plant-prepares-its-comebackhttp://bittersoutherner.com/kentucky-hemp/#.WQB22lPyvow

2:37/42:05: Julie Lawson, executive director of Trash Free Maryland, talks about the amount of micro-plastics her organization has found in the Chesapeake Bay and efforts underway to reduce the kind of pollution barely discernible to the eye. Also, Lawson talks about Trash Free Maryland’s project to recover and track some of the merchandise lost by Main Street stores during the Ellicott City flood late last month, including ceramic Christmas figurines.13:01: Rona Kobell, reporter with the Chesapeake Bay Journal, discusses Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s decision to roll back septic rules for new houses put in place by his predecessor, Martin O’Malley. Plus, O’Malley-era oyster sanctuaries — watermen want some of them opened to harvest, and they might get their way. Rona also has a story about ex-offenders being put to work planting trees in Baltimore neighborhoods in dire need of things green.Linkshttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/dan-rodricks-blog/bal-last-and-found-a-flotilla-of-figurines-from-the-ellicott-city-flood-20160830-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/features/green/blog/bal-bill-aims-to-end-use-of-plastic-microbeads-in-personal-care-products-20150207-story.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/local/microbeads-soon-will-be-banned-from-toothpaste-soaps-shampoos/2016/01/07/254166a8-b4c1-11e5-a842-0feb51d1d124_story.htmlhttps://trashfreemaryland.org/2016/08/10/help-us-track-the-ectreasures/http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/editorial/bs-ed-septic-20160823-story.htmlhttp://www.bayjournal.com/article/green_jobs_helping_ex_cons_turn_over_a_new_leaf
