Chesapeake bay mainstem monitoring program statistical and analytical support contract: final report, volume 2
The primary focus of this contract was the development of a statistical analysis framework for detection of trends in Chesapeake Bay water quality attributable to pollution-control-management actions. The report found that, while there are aspects of the main Bay water-quality monitoring program that can be improved, the overall approach of the program is sound and will provide the empirical information needed to characterize and detect trends in Chesapeake Bay water quality and to evaluate the effectiveness of management actions. Continuation of this coordinated monitoring effort provides the best opportunity for generation of rigorous statements concerning the State-of-the-Bay and for the development of an ecologically sound water-quality management strategy.
