USGS Assessments of Stream Health Condition in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

In order to provide science for the environmental management of stream health, fish habitat, fish health, and water quality, the US Geological Survey (USGS) and Chesapeake Bay Program partners are conducting multiple habitat assessment efforts throughout the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The goal of this work is focused on understanding and modeling aquatic communities, physical conditions, water quality, and toxic contaminants in the streams and rivers throughout the Watershed.
