Chesapeake Bay Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Habitat Requirements and Restoration Targets: A Technical Synthesis

Published: December 01, 1992

The Chesapeake Executive Council's adoption of a Chesapeake Bay Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Policy and an Implementation Plan for the SAV Policy highlighted not only the need to develop SAV habitat requirements but also the need for baywide restoration goals for SAV distribution, density, and species diversity. In response to the commitments described in the SAV Policy Implementation Plan, a working group of scientists and managers produced this document.
