Healthy Watersheds

Sustain state-identified healthy waters and watersheds, recognized for their high quality and/or high ecological value.

Many small, healthy watersheds in the Chesapeake Bay region are at risk of degradation as demand for local lands and resources increases. Promoting the long-term conservation and protection of healthy watersheds through stakeholder engagement, collaboration and education is critical to maintaining the health of the larger ecosystem.
