Progress Report of the Baywide Nutrient Reduction Reevaluation
- Published:
- February 1, 1992
A number of tools are being used to determine the validity of the goal and the effects the nutrient redduction will have o the Bay's water quality: 1) computer models are being used to guide the reevaluation; 2) research, monitoring and detailed studies of the habitat requirements of the Bay's living resources (plant and animal life) are being conducted; 3) engineering studies of control options for managing point and nonpoint source pollution are underway. This reevaluation has been supported by many Chesapeake Bay Program participants who have worked since the original Baywide Nutrient Reduction Strategy was prepared in 1988. This report was prepared by a reevaluation Workgroup whose members are noted on the next page.
