2014 Chesapeake Watershed Agreement: 10 goals, 31 outcomes with progress tracking information needs
How do we obtain more monitoring data?
New Partnering Opportunities
![Page 6: Chesapeake Monitoring Cooperative: Overview - ACWI › monitoring › conference › 2019 › ... · 2019-06-06 · Chesapeake Monitoring Cooperative: Overview Peter Tango USGS@Chesapeake](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022011902/5f0b9d847e708231d43160e3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Gap analysis and What is our recovery progress?
Our capacity to Monitor Watershed loads and trends: Adequate
Bay Water Quality Standards Attainment: Marginal
* World class monitoring programs may have gaps in their fundamental needs to obtain decision-support information.
Capacity to Monitor (USEPA 2003 scale):
1. Recommended2. Adequate3. Marginal
Water quality outcome example: Information gap analysis points to monitoring information needs of the bay and watershed scientists, managers and policy-makers
