Description:Each and every day natural resource managers responsible for the health of the Chesapeake Bay make difficult decisions, and they often make them in the midst of considerable uncertainty. In this monograph, former head of the joint federal-state Chesapeake Bay Program, William Matuszeski, draws on his experience to explain how scientific information, scientific uncertainty, and the search for consensus have shaped Bay policies. These observations highlight the difficulty of science-based decision-making in the face of ecological complexity.
