Chesapeake Bay Program: Grants awarded under this RFP, refer to Appendix A, will involve Geospatial Information. The Chesapeake Bay is North America's largest and most biologically diverse estuary. The Bay is a resource of extraordinary productivity, worthy of the highest levels of protection and restoration. Accordingly, in 1983 the states of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, the Chesapeake Bay Commission, and the EPA signed an agreement that established the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. In 1987, the partners adopted a second agreement, which established an overall vision for the Bay.
