Local action to restore and protect streams and wetlands
is crucial for the Bay's recovery. The latest Chesapeake Bay Agreement, known
as Chesapeake 2000, calls upon community organizations, local governments, businesses,
and individuals to step to the plate and get involved. In its mission to mobilize
decision-makers and stakeholders to learn about these challenges and participate
in resolving them, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay offers a variety of programs
and tools for learning how different stakeholders can help restore the Bay.
Training Modules & Workshops
Educating the 15 million people who now reside in the Chesapeake Bay
watershed about Bay-friendly lifestyles is a tall order. That’s why
the Alliance partners with local watershed organizations, business
associations, civic groups, and schools to offer training modules
and workshops that teach non-technical audiences how to better treat
our land and water resources for the ultimate protection of the
Chesapeake Bay.
Toolkits & Guidebooks
The Alliance translates technical or complex information on
watershed issues into easy-to-understand toolkits and guidebooks for
lay audiences. These products range from “do-it-yourself” guides to
publications that provide general advice and direction in working
with professionals from various fields of expertise.
