The Chesapeake Bay Watershed AgreementChesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement • March 16th, 2015
Spanning more than 64,000 miles and encompassing parts of six states, the Chesapeake Bay watershed is a unique ecological system that supports thousands of plant and animal species and nearly 18 million people living within its boundaries. A network of nearly 180,000 miles of streams, creeks and rivers wind through the surrounding land and eventually flow into the Chesapeake Bay, the largest and more productive estuary in the United States. To conserve, restore and protect this national treasure, federal and state leaders formed the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership. For more than 30 years, Bay Program partners have made considerable progress supporting fish and wildlife populations, reducing pollution and protecting lands and habitats—but there is still more work to do.
