Description
In 2006, over 90% of the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal waters were listed as impaired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency due to low dissolved oxygen levels and/or poor water clarity related to nutrient pollution. Nearly half of the total nutrient input to the bay is a result of nonpoint source pollution from the nine million acres of farmland within its 64,000 square mile watershed. In order to protect both the Chesapeake Bay and the region's agriculture, bay scientists and the farming community must work together to implement best management practices that will reduce nutrient pollution to the bay.
