The Coastal Barrier Resources System could get another 277,000 acres of protection under legislation in congress. In our weekly series with the Bay Journal Delmarva Public Media's Don Rush talks with staff writer Jeremy Cox about the program that bars federal assistance to development of private land along the coastline.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
