Planning to Develop Stream Corridor Restoration Goals for 2004

This workshop will promote science-based approaches to assist the Chesapeake Bay Program partner jurisdictions and their local partners in developing or enhancing existing efforts to meet the following Chesapeake 2000 goal: ‘By 2004, each jurisdiction, working with local governments, community groups and watershed organizations, will develop stream corridor restoration goals based on local watershed management planning.’ The workshop will focus the cooperative effort of scientists and managers to assist jurisdictions in determining how they will begin or continue working toward setting these integrated goals. The objective of the workshop is to identify common elements to consider when establishing jurisdictional stream corridor restoration goals by 2004. The products of the workshop will be recommendations for how to begin or continue developing stream corridor restoration goals in each jurisdiction that integrate existing programs and planning efforts. Participants will include scientists and managers from Chesapeake Bay Program partner jurisdictions, academic institutions, and non-government organizations who are engaged in stream corridor evaluation, restoration, and protections, as well as local government experts who are engaged in local watershed management planning.
