Measuring Milestones and Meeting Goals: Progress in Bay Restoration

• This presentation focuses on the first watershed-wide EPA studies that were conducted 50

years ago to document the Chesapeake Bay’s problems. This triggered a massive restoration

effort that is widely recognized among the most successful in the world.

• Progress in water quality is often discussed, but how are we progressing towards the other

desired outcomes – crabs, oysters, wetlands, forests, and forest buffers? What measures are

still needed to accelerate progress and ensure results.

Presenter: Ann Swanson | Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission
