In June 2014, the Chesapeake Executive Council, which includes leaders from six states and the District of Columbia, and representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Chesapeake Bay Commission, signed the landmark Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. This restoration, conservation and stewardship accord contains ten interconnected goals and thirty-one measurable, time-bound outcomes that will help create a healthy ecosystem. The Chesapeake Bay Program’s Goal Implementation Teams have developed draft management strategies that outline our plans to meet those thirty-one outcomes. The twenty-five strategies are grouped into five themes that align with Bay Program partners’ vision, described in the Watershed Agreement: Abundant Life, Clean Water, Climate Change, Conserved Lands and Engaged Communities.
