In 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement outlined dozens of outcomes organized under ten goals for the health and protection of the watershed Many of the outcomes are meant to be realized by 2025. With this deadline approaching fast and seeing various degrees of success so far, how does the restoration community use tools and funding increases to more effectively advance multiple outcomes?

The speakers gave an introduction to the targeting tools portal developed by USGS in partnership with The Chesapeake Bay Program, USEPA, NOAA, and the Chesapeake Conservancy and led a discussion on achieving restoration goals.
