This map shows the percent of the Water Clarity goal achieved for each Chesapeake Bay Segment in 2010.

In 2003, the CBP adopted the Strategy to Accelerate the Protection and Restoration of Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in the Chesapeake Bay including a commitment to plant 1,000 acres by 2008. The program partners have thus far planted 17% of their initial goal. In 2010, 12.4 acres were planted with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other sources. Both funding for SAV planting, and capacity for doing it, will need to be increased dramatically to meet the goal on time.

The Phytoplankton (Index of Biological Integrity) map shows the percent of the goal achieved by CBP Monitoring Segment.

This map shows the percent of the Index of Biological Integrity indicator goal achieved by segment.

The 2010 Chlorophyll a percent of goal achievement by CBP segment.

This map shows the 2010 indicator status of the Benthic Index of Biological Integrity by station.

The 2010 Dissolved Oxygen Indicator showing Percent of Goal Achieved using the three year analysis method.

Tidal waters that are impaired for part or all of the indicated Bay segment by toxic chemicals based on each state's implementation of the Clean Water Act.

This map shows the locations of riparian forest buffer restoration projects throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Project locations were provided by Forestry Workgroup representatives from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Virginia Department of Forestry, and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

This map shows progress toward achieving the Chesapeake Bay Program segment-specific underwater bay grass restoration goals. It is based on the single best year of acreage as observed through the most recent three years of data from the Chesapeake Bay underwater bay grasses aerial survey.
