In July 2001, the Chesapeake Bay Program Monitoring and Analysis Subcommittee's Tidal Monitoring and Analysis Workgroup (TMAW) formed a Tidal Monitoring Design Team that undertook the role of redesigning the Chesapeake Bay Tidal Monitoring Network. Over the following 2 years, the Design Team set goals and lbjectives, reviewed the existing Chesapeake Bay monitoring design,evaluated potential new monitoring strategies and then made recommendation for implementing a network that provided the requisite data and supported the programmatic goals and objectives. The new tidal Monitoring Network focused on eeting the Water Quality Protection and Restoration goals and objectives of the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement.
