USGS Chesapeake Bay studies seeks to collaborate with the Chesapeake Watershed CESU to strengthen science communication to support decision-making in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The CESU partner will work closely with the USGS to collect and translate peer-reviewed publications (including journal articles and USGS reports) into communication products (such as USGS approved fact sheets) that address Department of Interior strategic priorities. This agreement is urgently needed to support communication of the following priorities: (1) providing clean water for people and communities, (2) protecting fish and wildlife to support a heritage of outdoor recreation, and (3) addressing the needs and priorities of state and local partners.
