    The State of the Chesapeake Bay and Its Watershed: A Report to the Citizens of the Bay Region (2004)

    The State of the Chesapeake Bay and Its Watershed provides current information on the conditions and challenges that face the Chesapeake Bay today. Through an intricate suite of environmental indicators, Bay scientists assess both the state of the Bay and the state of the Bay?s restoration. Chesapeake Bay Program partners track some 100 indicators of Bay health ? 89 are based on environmental monitoring and tracking data, while 11 employ computer model forecasts to project future water quality conditions resulting from today?s restoration initiatives. This suite provides us the most comprehensive look at the current state of the Bay while allowing Bay scientists to predict likely future conditions.

    Chesapeake Bay 2006 Health and Restoration Assessment

    On April 18, 2007, the Chesapeake Bay Program released its Chesapeake Bay 2006 Health and Restoration Assessment. The report gives watershed residents a clear and concise synopsis of Bay health and on-the-ground restoration efforts taking place across its vast watershed. The report is divided into two parts: Ecosystem Health and Restoration Efforts. This format of reporting, first used to detail the condition of the Bay in 2005, allows the Bay Program partnership to look at the effectiveness of clean-up actions across the entire watershed and allocate restoration efforts appropriately.
