New Bay Diet Approved

 Chesapeake Bay Mag, Bay States Approve New Watershed Agreement with 2040 Deadline

Four governors and the mayor of Washington, D.C. descended on the National Aquarium in Baltimore Tuesday to adopt a revised Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. An update to the Chesapeake Bay restoration plan devised in 2014 with a 2025 deadline, this new Watershed Agreement will direct the next 15 years of Bay cleanup efforts.

The revised 2025 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement builds upon progress, according to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, instead of simply restarting the program. “We are redoubling our effort to make achievable, not just aspirational, goals.” While 2040 is the next big milestone date for the new agreement’s goals, there are “critical checkpoints” planned along the way, Youngkin said. The new agreement contains four goals: Thriving Habitats, Fisheries and Wildlife; Clean Water; Healthy Landscapes; and Engaged Communities. It also includes 21 outcomes for the Bay states to reach. To achieve the outcomes, the partners will create management strategies for each.
