Restoration of living resources and vital habitat is the highest priority of Chesapeake 2000. The CBP is developing plans to restore vital habitats and living resources including submerged aquatic vegetation and fisheries. Also, the Department of Interior is developing conservation measures to protect water birds in the Atlantic Flyway. To develop the strategies to conserve and restore the ecosystem, scientific information is needed to understand the complex relation of living resources and associated habitats to environmental factors in the Bay and its watershed. The USGS will focus on documenting the factors affecting the health of fish and water birds and their habitats.
