Walt Boynton honored for career in Chesapeake Bay science
Growing up in Massachusetts, Walter Boynton joined his father and brother for occasional trips to the coast just to watch the ocean. The fond memories evolved over the years into a devotion and storied career in marine science. Now on the brink of his retirement, the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science professor who has already earned the rank of "Admiral of the Chesapeake"
is due to receive the Mathias Medal, a prestigious award presented to only six other scientists in nearly three decades.
