Stream Health, Fish Passage, Brook Trout, and Proposed Non-tidal Fish Habitat Outcome Discussion
To discuss if and how certain outcomes (Brook Trout, Fish Habitat / Non-Tidal Fish Habitat, Fish Passage, Stream Health) should be consolidated/reclassified and develop a recommendation to provide at the April 10 Management Board meeting.
Considerations for consolidation/reclassification: Increase opportunity for collaboration, improve efficiency, and “do no harm.”
This meeting is meant to address the charge given in the March 27th Management Board meeting:
"GIT leadership and signatory Management Board members who have participating members in these outcomes, along with their practitioners, will convene with as many attendees as it is feasible to discuss synergies and alignments between the Brook Trout, Stream Health, Fish Passage, and the proposed Nontidal Fish Habitat Outcomes before the April 10, 2025 Management Board meeting. The Habitat GIT will convene this conversation with support from the Chesapeake Bay Commission and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including utilizing a Pennsylvania Facilitator."

Wetland Outcome Attainability Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together key people to identify actions to overcome the barriers of implementing nontidal and tidal wetland restoration and accelerate progress towards the Wetlands Outcome identified in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
The major outcomes are:
1) Understanding of the barriers that limit the rate of nontidal and tidal wetland restoration that is necessary to achieve the 2025 Wetlands Outcome.
2) Identification of approaches, including changes to existing programs and proposing new programs, to increase the implementation of nontidal and tidal wetland restoration.
3) Within three months following the workshop, work with partners and workshop participants to develop an action plan that outlines steps and a timeline for dedicating resources to implementing these approaches.
An agenda and meeting details will be posted closer to the workshop date.
