Program objective
The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and unique as North America's largest and most biologically diverse estuary. The EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) awards annual grants to signatory jurisdictions of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement to support activities to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay. Current signatories of the Watershed Agreement include the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. These grants are generally awarded non-competitively to signatories through allocation formulas provided in program guidance. Under this program, EPA awards two types of grants: 1) jurisdiction implementation grants, which support a signatory jurisdiction’s efforts to advance progress toward meeting commitments under the Watershed Agreement and subsequent amendments; and 2) monitoring grants, which support assessment of changes to water quality and living resources over time. More information regarding the Chesapeake Bay Program and the Watershed Agreement can be found at https://www.chesapeakebay.net/.
