2025 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement is a collaborative commitment to restore, conserve and protect the nation’s largest estuary and its surrounding watershed.
Description
Signed in 2014, the original Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement established 10 goals and 31 outcomes to restore the Bay, its tributaries and the lands that surround them. The revised Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, approved on December 2, 2025, includes new goals, outcomes and targets related to environmental restoration, protection and conservation. These changes are a result of extensive feedback from partners, stakeholders and residents of the watershed, and are designed to elevate conservation as a key pillar of the program, emphasize measurable, time-bound goals, align our work with the latest science and engage all watershed communities in caring for the Bay.
