Scientific, Technical Assessment and Reporting (STAR) Projects

This project is designed to develop a strategic, science-based approach to better target federal and state resources to the places, and towards the types of activities, that accelerate progress for multiple outcomes.

This project provides an overview of the Chesapeake Bay Program's monitoring network and identifies opportunities to address capacity shortfalls and implement enhancements.

This framework was developed to help focus existing science resources, leverage the research enterprise and more effectively provide science to advance Chesapeake Bay Program efforts and decision-making.

This project will pilot a cost-effective, real-time dissolved oxygen vertical monitoring system for characterizing mainstem Chesapeake Bay hypoxia.

This project identified places where Goal Implementation Teams (GITs) can more effectively collaborate and make progress toward interrelated Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement outcomes.

This project enhanced the analysis and explanation of water quality monitoring information.

This action team was assembled to determine how to most accurately track the recovery progress of American shad in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

This implementation plan guided the Scientific, Technical Assessment and Reporting (STAR) Team toward expanding its science capacity to better meet Goal Implementation Team (GIT) needs.
