The process developed by STAC, Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) representatives, and the CBP Watershed Partners Senior Managers provides a framework and method for establishing the priorities and objectives of the monitoring program, as requested by the CBP. It meets the larger mission specified by external reviews by the General Accountability Office (GAO) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by providing a repeatable, defensible, and collaborative process. The outcome of this process can be used to re-align, if necessary, the monitoring program with the objectives of the CBP partnership. This process does not make, or endorse, specific recommendations for monitoring program re-design.
