On May 12, 2010, the Federal Leadership Committee for the Chesapeake Bay released its strategy for protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Formed by Executive Order 13508, the Federal Leadership Committee includes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security, Interior and Transportation. The bay strategy is designed to fulfill the federal government’s commitment to restore the Chesapeake Bay and to present a model for environmental protection and restoration efforts in other watersheds throughout the nation.
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed is the largest estuary in the nation. Falling within the jurisdiction of six states and the District of Columbia, the 64,000-square-mile watershed and its ecosystems provide benefits that support the economy and quality of life in the region.
