Description:In response to deteriorating conditions in the Chesapeake Bay, signatories from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. EPA signed the Chesapeake Bay Agreement in December of 1987. Implicit in this agreement is the reduction of nutrients and toxic substances into the estuary. In 1989, the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Effects Committee joined with the Chesapeake Bay Program's Toxic Subcommittee to further address the lack of information concerning anthropogenic impacts to the estuary. The initial goals of the Toxics Research Program were to understand how Chesapeake Bay ecosystem processes influence the transport, fate and effects of toxicants; and to understand the effects that representative toxicants have upon ecological processes, including trophic dynamics, in the Bay. Recognizing the need for communication between the research community and management agencies, the Chesapeake Bay Program holds periodic workshops in cooperation with the Maryland and Virginina Sea Grant programs. The first was held in February of 1992. The second workshop, held in May of 1993, is summarized in this report.
