- Second Chesapeake Bay Agreement
- What occurred
- The 1987 Chesapeake Bay Agreement was the first agreement to set numeric goals in order to reduce pollutants in the bay and restore the ecosystems. More specifically, the agreement was targeted at nitrogen and phosphorus entering the bay, aiming to reduce those pollutants by 40% by 2000. Establishing actual numeric goals was unprecedented so this agreement became a hallmark of the Chesapeake Bay Program.
