Explanation
(This amendment provides general fund support for educational field studies on the Elizabeth River. The Elizabeth River Project has developed an Elizabeth River Project Learning Barge, a floating wetland classroom, for student field studies. The program has served 6,000 students, but student fees do not cover the full cost of the water quality and other hands-on learning stations.)
