Habitat GIT Management Strategy
The Habitat GIT Management Strategy contains direct and indirect priorities that the HGIT is committed to achieving. This is a living document that is updated and approved by the HGIT workgroup chairs twice a year, and presented to the HGIT membership at the annual Spring and Fall Meetings. The current Management Strategy can be found below.
Targeted Outreach for Green Infrastructure in Vulnerable Communities
Targeted Outreach for Green Infrastructure (TOGI) was a GIT-funded project between the Habitat GIT and four communities, including Cambridge (MD), Williamsport (PA), and the Upper Mattaponi Tribe and the Mattaponi Indian Tribe (VA). This project involved developing conceptual blueprints that add green infrastructure to communities in order to bring environmental and cultural benefits.

2022 Restoring the Wetlands of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Workshop
The purpose of this workshop was to bring together key stakeholders to discuss restoration, review barriers, develop strategies and ultimately produce an action plan for accelerating progress towards the Wetlands Outcome identified in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. The final action plan contains plans from jurisdictions, federal agencies, and non-government organizations, and was presented to the CBP Management Board at the December 2022 Management Board meeting.
The Wetland Workgroup, Habitat Goal Implementation Team (GIT 2), and other CBP working groups will be implementing and prioritizing actions from this plan moving forward. Additional resources will be uploaded here as projects are completed.
