A summary of a 1992 workshop, the purpose of which was to provide a forum for investigators' progress reports, the fostering of collaborative research, evaluation of the Toxics Research Program; and dialogue among researchers , managers and the Chesapeake Bays Environmental Effects Committee.

This Work Plan outlines the continuing Federal support for the Anacostia watershed restoration effort, and applying six restoration goals identified in the Anacostia Watershed Restoration Committee's Six Point Action, examines Federal programs to determine what goals are being fulfilled and which others can be achieved with Federal support.

Beginning in September 1985, a hypoxia program was conceived by the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Effects Committee as an ecologically oriented study focusing on system-level effects. In 1990, the Chesapeake Bay Office joined the CBEEC research program and the focus of the research program was redirected from hypoxia to studies of toxic contaminants in Chesapeake Bay

An assessment of the Fall-line (non-tidal) load of trace metals in the Potomac River. The trace metals to determine its contribution of metals to the Chesapeake Bay.

This report summarizes the findings of the Chesapeake Bay Commission's Ballast Water Work Group. It provides a review of unintentional introductions via ballast water from an ecological, economic, and cultural point of view; it identifies actions currently under consideration at the international, national, and state level; and it offers recommendations to the Bay states and the federal government for reducing the risk of biological invasion via ballast water release in the Chesapeake Bay.

The objective of this project was to develop a practical and conceptually sound framework for assessing benthic environmental conditions in Chesapeake Bay that would address general constraints and limitations; i.e., naturally varying habitat elements, such as salinity, sediment type, and depth, and different sampling methodologies.

This project was undertaken to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program with an assessment of chemical analytical capabilities currently available in the Bay region and to provide guidance on how to proceed with toxics analysis in the future.

A compilation of toxic substances detected in, released, or applied to all media (water, soil, sediment, tissue and air) within the Chesapeake Bay basin.

In the District of Columbia, 63% of the District's respondents thought that funding for repair should be spent on reducing water pollution.
