2024-2025 SAV Outcome Management Strategy
This management strategy outlines approaches for achieving the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement's SAV Outcome.
Description
This management strategy outlines approaches for achieving the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement's SAV Outcome: Sustain and increase the habitat benefits of SAV (underwater grasses) in the Chesapeake Bay. Achieve and sustain the ultimate outcome of 185,000 acres of SAV Bay-wide necessary for a restored Bay. Progress toward this ultimate outcome will be measured against a target of 90,000 acres by 2017 and 130,000 acres by 2025.
This outcome was derived by the SAV Workgroup and is based on observed historical SAV abundance and distribution throughout the Bay and its rivers.
