This workshop was convened to address the needs and the potential for long-term research on the Chesapeake Bay in support of living resources management. Scientists from several disciplines participated, coming from all regions of the United States and from Europe to meet for three days at the Donald-Brown Conference Center. Results of their discussion and recommendations are included in this report. The report is intended as a planning guide for long-range research, from which specific research programs can be developed. Further effort by small working groups of scientists and managers will be required to develop the general recommendations made here into specific research or monitoring programs. In addition to the 48 scientists, many agency and academic representatives participate in the general sessions on the first and third days of the workshop. The report primarily provides recommendations on long-range needs by the scientists to agency managers, but its content has been influenced substatially by input of all participants in the general sessions.
