Through publications and news releases the USGS disseminates Chesapeake Bay information to several target audiences. The primary audience is the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP).

The CBP, consisting of over 25 Federal Agencies, 6 States and the District of Columbia, and local customers and partners requires USGS research, monitoring and predictive models about the Bay and its watershed to help formulate and evaluate restoration strategies.

USGS Chesapeake Bay science information also has critical relevance for the restoration of ecosystems throughout the United States. Therefore, other target audiences include scientific organizations, representatives of Congress, the Department of the Interior (DOI), and the USGS.

The USGS has published reports and journal articles on a large number of topics related to the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. Some of the more recent reports are online. Others can be ordered by calling 1-888-ASK-USGS (1-888-275-8747). The U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1220 - The U.S. Geological Survey and the Chesapeake Bay -- The Role of Science in Environmental Restoration and the The U.S. Geological Survey Chesapeake Bay Science Program FS-125-01 are important recent publications.
