Long-Term Flow-Adjusted Trends for Total Phosphorus (32 Sites in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed) 1985-2009

This map shows the long-term flow-adjusted trends for total nitrogen at 32 Sites in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed from 1985-2009.

This is a key to non-tidal monitoring stations used to illustrate trend-yield data for nutrients and sediment.

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 2011, 0.02 acres were planted. Both funding for SAV planting, and capacity for doing it, will need to be increased dramatically to meet the goal on time.

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.

The map shows the average Index of Biological Integrity Score for phytoplankton by monitoring station.
