The 1987 Bay Agreement is analogous to the proverbial pebble cast into a pond: the ripples move endlessly outward, their effects felt in an ever-widening circle. This Second Progress Report attemtpts to track at least some of those ripples. It describes major efforts under way which contri bute to the restoration of the Bay, though their cumulative effects are not yet fully defined. The task of "managing...an integrated ecosystem" is still more art than science, and the synthesis of the elements involved is far from complete.
