Description
The Watershed Data Dashboard is an online tool that provides accessibility and visualization of data and technical information that can help guide water quality and watershed planning efforts. A large amount of scientific and technical information is available on the dashboard for environmental managers and planners at both state and local levels. Much of this information has been updated or newly generated in recent years and can inform watershed restoration plan development and implementation. This information includes, but is not limited to: tidal and watershed water quality monitoring trends; living resources trends and explanations; information to help geographically target restoration efforts; information to help choose best management practices (BMPs); current reported BMP implementation and opportunities; and opportunities for smart growth and land conservation.
The purpose of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Data Dashboard is to consolidate and provide accessibility to this information in one cohesive location and to provide guidance on how and why the information should be used.
