About Us
ChesapeakeProgress is designed to help oversight groups track our progress toward the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, understand what impacts our work and determine how this work is funded.
ChesapeakeProgress helps federal, public and internal oversight groups track the Chesapeake Bay Program’s progress toward the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. It provides accurate, up-to-date and accessible data and information on more than two dozen indicators of environmental health, restoration, conservation and stewardship.
Our Indicators Framework [PDF, 313KB] explains how we use output and performance indicators to measure progress at the outcome and target level, supporting both reporting and decision-making. An Analysis & Methods Document [DOCX, 545KB] is updated and published alongside each indicator to explain how underlying data are collected, analyzed and interpreted. Our Data File Template [XLSX, 35KB] includes both reported metrics and essential metadata, or data documentation.
In response to the December 2025 revision of the Watershed Agreement, we’re rebuilding this website to reflect our revised goals and outcomes. During this transition period, some pages will be offline. For a snapshot of progress toward our previous outcomes, please visit ChesapeakeData.
