The State of Maryland implements many bay-related programs. As a starting point, BayStat will tackle the
39 programs identified in the Tributary Strategies designed to meet our nutrient and sediment reduction goals.
These include a wide variety of agricultural best management practices, improvements to point sources
(such as upgrades to waste water treatment plants), runoff from urban lands, and added protections to our
streams and shorelines. The goal is to address all these issues by June 2008.
In future years, BayStat will continue to review and refine these critical programs, but will also turn to other Bay related programs such as fish and wildlife management, dredge material disposal, and sea level rise.
