The Chesapeake Bay Program, in its effort to measure progress in protecting and restoring wetlands throughout the watershed, committed to performing a status and trends survey of Chesapeake wetlands every five years. The information from these surveys will guide the management actions needed to achieve the Chesapeake Bay Program's commitment to a "no-net loss" of wetlands in the short term, in wetlands across the watershed. This booklet summarizes the findings of the first survey.
