Opportunity description

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.

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.
