• Description:
  In mid-February of 2007, scientists from the Chesapeake Bay community and beyond came together to share information and identify knowledge gaps about the significance of threshold responses in pathways forward for the Chesapeake. The goal of this workshop was to advance the region's ability to improve interpretation and forecasting of response trajectories of the Chesapeake Bay as nutrient loads decrease. The workshop brought a mix of researchers, modelers, and managers, drawing upon the expertise of scientists who have studied aquatic ecosystems where ecological state changes have occurred, and on those with experience in implementing novel management solutions. The Chesapeake Bay Program's Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee and the Maryland Sea Grant Program sponsored the workshop. This 52-page report synthesizes the workshop's findings and includes recommendations for approaches to research and management in the Chesapeake Bay.
