Charting a Course to 2025

Description

In October 2022, the Chesapeake Executive Council charged the Principals’ Staff Committee with recommending a critical path forward that prioritizes and outlines the next steps for meeting the goals and outcomes of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement leading up to and beyond 2025. The Executive Council Charge to the Principals’ Staff Committee: Charting a Course to 2025 and Beyond asked the Principals' Staff Committee to report back to the Executive Council at their 2023 annual meeting with recommendations on how to best address and integrate new science and restoration strategies leading up to 2025.

This report contains close to 200 recommendations for accelerating progress across each Watershed Agreement outcome. While this report also offers a concise critical path forward for the partnership, these many detailed recommendations should be considered in accelerating progress to 2025.
