ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governors from Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania gathered with various other officials Tuesday in what the Chesapeake Bay Program says may be the most important meeting for the Program since the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement was originally signed a decade ago.
The Chesapeake Executive Council, which includes Governors Wes Moore, Glenn Youngkin, and Josh Shapiro, announced their plans to revise the Watershed Agreement on December 10th. The announcement follows the Chesapeake Bay Program acknowledging many of the goals of the original Watershed Agreement would not be met by the 2025 target date. A draft report was previously issued to adjust the goals of the agreement beyond 2025.
Based on the findings of that report, the Executive Council agreed to revise the Watershed Agreement by the end of the year and signed a directive to form a new Agricultural Advisory Committee. The Committee will serve as a voice for farmers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed and encourage a partnership on agricultural production and conservation.
