Chesapeake Bay Coastal Program
Purpose
The Chesapeake Bay Coastal Program is the first of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's coastal programs established to conserve coastal resources. The
Chesapeake Bay Coastal Program identifies important Chesapeake Bay problems
and solutions, carries out on-the-ground conservation projects, encourages
stewardship of resources by local governments and the public and works
with other federal, state and local agencies and the private sector
to implement solutions to problems within the region. The Chesapeake
Bay Coastal Program is working with other federal, state and local
agencies to protect living resources. Under a Memorandum of Agreement
with the EPA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a major partner
in the Chesapeake Bay Program, a multi-agency effort to restore living
resources and water quality of the Chesapeake Bay.
