Data management has long been recognized as an integral part of the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP). The efforts of all CBP partner agencies to manage the resources of the Chesapeake Bay require an extensive data base of known and documented quality. The data must be easily accessed for analyticaland reporting purposes. A key to achieveing these goals is to acquire or create common data attributes in similar or translatable formats. kThis plan describes the data forms and procedures for the submission, storage, and retrieval of Chesapeake Bay data at the CBP.
