The Chesapeake Bay Program

The Chesapeake Bay Program is a collaborative effort among government agencies, scientists, and local communities to protect and restore the health of Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the U.S. It focuses on reducing pollution, restoring habitat, managing fisheries, and monitoring water quality. By sharing data and coordinating actions, the program aims to improve water clarity and ecological health, ensuring the bay remains a vital resource for people and wildlife. The initiative emphasizes science-based solutions and community involvement to achieve sustainable long-term improvements in the bay’s environment.
