Share Your Feedback to Shape the Future of the Bay

July 23rd, 2025

Local governments are crucial partners in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay watershed and now is a critical time to help shape the future of this work. The Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership is revising the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, a road map to protect the Chesapeake Bay watershed. 

From July 1 through September 1, the Partnership is accepting public feedback on these proposed changes. Input from local governments is vital to ensure the updated goals and strategies reflect real-world needs and on-the-ground priorities. 

Ready to make your voice heard? Submit comments on the draft revised Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement via email to comments@chesapeakebay.net.
