Chesapeake Bay Program partners use several tools to track progress toward Bay restoration goals. These tools help Bay Program partners and other stakeholders visualize data to help indentify priorities and reveal funding gaps.
ChesapeakeStat provides information about Bay Program partner restoration activities, funding and progress toward goals. The information is displayed on a public website, stat.chesapeakebay.net.
The ChesapeakeStat website helps foster coordination among partners and improve government accountability. ChesapeakeStat reflects the Bay Program’s continuous process of analyzing data to assess progress toward goals.
The Executive Council launched ChesapeakeStat in June 2010.
The Chesapeake Bay TMDL Tracking and Accounting System (BayTAS) is an interactive tool that allows the EPA, Bay Program partners and Bay jurisdictions to track progress toward implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL.
BayTAS uses maps and charts to visualize the Bay TMDL 2009 baseline data, 2017 interim goal projections and 2025 allocations for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment. Users can view pollution data by basin, jurisdiction, stream segment or source sector.
BayTAS will eventually include additional features such as best management practice (BMP) implementation and verification.
