Chesapeake Bay Program Scientific and Technical Assessment Committee Monitoring, Assessment and Indicator Review Subcommittee Meeting Report

In June 2006, the CBP requested STAC to review the Status and Health Report of the Chesapeake Bay. A subcommittee of STAC members was convened to address specific questions from the CBP to determine 1) whether appropriate measures have been established to assess ecosystem health, 2) whether appropriate measures have been established for assessing restoration efforts, and 3) whether these assessments clearly and accurately describe the Bay?s health and restoration status. Outcomes from the review are summarized in the accompanying report.
