In the years since the conference on the Chesapeake Bay that was held at the Wye Institute in September, 1968, the people of the Chesapeake Region, together with the rest of the nation, have increasingly recognized that environmental matters must be considered in planning and governing in both the pubic and private sectors. Aware of a vigorous mixture of completed, ongoing and projected studies, and of strong public environmental concern the principal state officials of Maryland and Virginia, requested the Chesapeake Reserach Consortium, Inc. to plan and convene a conference that would focus on the governance of Chesapeake Bay. This publication contains the task force reports from the workshop, the panelists' conference participants.
