In response to the 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement, the Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions, working through a Water Quality Task Group, developed the Baywide Nutrient Reduction Strategy (Chesapeake Bay Program, 1988a) for reducing nutrients entering the Bay to attain the year 2000 goal. The Nutrient Reduction Strategy called for more stringent point source controls and increased emphasis on reducing nonpoint source nutrient loadings from agricultural and urban sources. To achieve these goals, the jurisdictions within the Chesapeake Bay Program are implementing a variety of actions and programs.
