As the Chesapeake Bay Program resolves some of the issues before it, other problems come to the forefront for consideration. The 1983 Bay Agreement identified a small number of critical issues to be addressed. The selection of these issues was based on a consensus among citizens, resource managers, and the scientific and technical community. These groups agreed, first, that these problems were important, and, second, that we knew enough about them to develop successful solutions. The Chesapeake Bay Program is moving in uncharted waters. No other environmental management effort on this scale has ever been attemptedin a system as complex as the Chesapeake.
