This twn-year retrospectiveof the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay features cleanup accomplishments and highlights the results of our long-term commitment to work together. We are seeing an increase in aquatic grasses, crucial food sources and habitats for many of the Bay's living resources. The Bay Program's revolutionary 3-D model now allows scientists for the first time to predict the effects of pollution on the Bay. And the resurgence of rockfish in the Chesapeake region is a positive sign that the Bay's health is improving.
