Nine months after the signing of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, Chesapeake Bay Program partners are seeking public input on a collection of plans for achieving the goals and outcomes of the landmark accord. Stakeholder input is requested from individual citizens, private businesses, watershed groups, civic organizations, and local governments.
The draft management strategies address the thirty-one outcomes of the Watershed Agreement and outline plans for implementation, monitoring and assessing progress and coordinating partners and stakeholders in work toward restoring the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
In June 2014, representatives from across the region signed the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. Signatories include the governors of Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia; the mayor of the District of Columbia; the chair of the Chesapeake Bay Commission; and the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of the Federal Leadership Committee for the Chesapeake Bay.
Chesapeake Bay Program partners welcome comments on draft strategies between March 16 and April 30, 2015.
