Chesapeake Bay Workshop on Societal Tidal Indicators

On June 11th, we held our second workshop geared towards developing new tidal indicators for the Chesapeake Bay and Watershed Report Card. This workshop was focused on developing societal indicators, covering categories of public health, fishing, swimmability, recreation, culture, and history. Though we were a small group, we were able to brainstorm a promising list of top indicators and their associated data sources. We held our first workshop in March, which was focused on ecological tidal indicators, and we look forward to hosting future workshops for indicators on economics and management and governance.
