The Strategy Reevaluation was designed to evaluate toxic conditions of the Bay, assess the effects of current programs, and identify additional actions needed to further reduce toxics impacts in the Bay.

In 1997 and 1998 the CBP signatories opened 294.3 miles of blocked tributary habitat to migratory fish and 67 miles to resident fish (a total of 361.3 miles) within the Bay watershed. Since the program's inception, almost 80 projects have been completed, which opened 523.5 stream miles to migratory fish. This report discusses fish passage project currently in the planning, design or construction phases for 1999 and future years.

This report details the Chesapeake Bay Program's Living Resources Subcommittee accomplishments for 1997. Accomplishments in wetlands, bay grasses, oyster reef restoration, fisheries management, fish passage, habitat restoration, exotic species, waterfowl and other water birds, biological monitoring, and ecosystem modeling are presented.

This is a PowerPoint presentation and a Word Document on a presentation by Richard Batiuk, EPA, to the public on July 8, 2002, in the PA Department of Environmental Protection's South Central Regional Office, Harrisburg.

This report provides an interim assessment of toxic substance loadings being delivered to the Chesapeake Bay from the Susquehanna, Potomac and James rivers.

Edited verbatim proceedings of the water trails conference held in Shepherdstown, WV, October 9013, 1998. Discussion topics include: a keynote speech by U.S. Senator Paul Sarbanes, Middle Potomac Water Trail, water trail case studies, status and trends of water trails, getting started, sustaining trails, ecotourism, Federal role in water trails, State and Provincial programs, and Chesapeake Bay water trail workshop.

Commitments are organized under four areas -- pollution prevention, regulatory program implementation, regional focus, and directed toxics assessment.

This document is a first approach to develop consensus protocols for the use of biological indicators to monitor the effects of toxic contaminants in Chesapeake Bay habitats important to living resources.

This work contains the following themes as they relate to the Chesapeake Bay: Watersheds, Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability of the Bay/Stewardship.

This document summarizes the goals developed by industry stakeholders for consideration in the revised Toxics Strategy (2000) and the Chesapeake Bay Agreement (2000).
