In June 2014, political leaders from six states and the District of Columbia, and representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Chesapeake Bay Commission signed the landmark Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, with the vision of restoring clean water, abundant wildlife and a vibrant cultural heritage to the Bay, where citizens and stakeholders will have access to waterways and open space and be engaged in conservation and stewardship. For the first time, representatives from every jurisdiction in the watershed committed to full partnership in the Bay Program and our far-reaching, collaborative restoration efforts.
