To reverse the precipitous decline in the Bay's resources, in 1983 the Governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, along with the Nayor of the District of Columbia and the Chair of the Chesapeake Bay Commission signed the Chesapeake Bay Agreement with the Administrator of the environmental Protection Agency. The signatories, known collectively as the Chesapeake Bay Executive Council, pledged to unite resources to address problems with toxics, nonpoint source pollution, and decline of SAV.
