From 1998-2022, CBF's State of the Bay report tracked the health of the Chesapeake Bay and provided insight into the progress—or lack thereof—being made.
We are currently working on revamping our report. In the meantime, for more recent scientific analysis, please see the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science’s 2023/2024 Bay watershed report card.
The State of the Bay Report makes it clear that the Bay needs our support now more than ever. Your donation helps the Chesapeake Bay Foundation maintain our momentum toward a restored Bay, rivers, and streams for today and generations to come.
