Abstract

This manual catalogs local programs in the Chesapeake Bay watershed that positively impact (either directly or indirectly) the quality of the bay, the surrounding watershed, and the quality of life for its living resources. The Chesapeake Bay Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC) produced this manual to provide cross-sharing of information among local governments. It acts as a reference for developing similar type programs.
