Book excerpt: The Chesapeake Bay Program was created in 1983 when MD, PA, VA, D.C., the Chesapeake Bay Comm., & the EPA agreed to establish a partnership to restore the Chesapeake Bay.

This report examines: (1) the extent to which appropriate measures for assessing restoration progress have been established; (2) the extent to which current reporting mechanisms clearly & accurately describe the Bay's overall health; (3) how much funding was provided for the effort for FY 1995 through 2004; & (4) how effectively the effort is being managed.
