Chesapeake Bay Working Group

Interagency Workshop on Societal Applications of Satellite Data for the Chesapeake Bay

8.7.2018

This one-day interagency workshop was focused on current applications and future opportunities for satellite data and products to support decision making around the Chesapeake Bay in the context of coastal and inland aquatic ecosystems and water quality. An interactive format welcomed representatives from a broad range of backgrounds to provide unique perspectives on aquatic data needs, including middle agency providers of data, policy analysts and businesses.
