Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Estuary, and Delmarva coastal estuaries are vital Mid-Atlantic resources. For many years, the EPA has led efforts to protect and restore these estuaries by implementing such laws as the Clean Water Act and by participating in projects like the Chesapeake Bay Program. This peer-reviewed report addresses the questions: Are these protective measures having an impact? What is the current condition of our natural resources? How widespread are ecological problems and what are their probable causes? It breaks new ground in employing the latest scientific tools and by drawing upon carefully designed sampling plans.
