  skos:definition """The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) was established in 1992 to
      provide a focus for NOAA?s multiple capabilities and activities
      in the Chesapeake Bay and with the multi-state/Federal
      partnership that comprises the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP),
      which is administered by the EPA. NCBO is co-located with the
      CBP in Annapolis, Maryland, and its staff coordinate and
      collaborate with CBP partners on a daily basis. NOAA has been a
      federal partner of the Chesapeake Bay Program since the signing
      of an MOU with EPA in 1984.
      
      NCBO's function is to represent all NOAA line offices, including
      National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the Office of Oceanic
      and Atmospheric Research (OAR), the National Ocean Service
      (NOS), the National Weather Service (NWS), and the National
      Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS),
      and to provide a clear focal point within NOAA for Chesapeake
      Bay initiatives, involve all relevant NOAA entities in Bay
      restoration efforts, manage peer-reviewed NCBO-funded research,
      and to strengthen NOAA?s interactions with Chesapeake Bay
      partners.
      
      In addition to the NOAA employees in Annapolis, NCBO draws on
      the talents of numerous NOAA employees working on Chesapeake Bay
      issues but not located in the NCBO office. The staff located in
      NCBO focus on work ranging from stock assessment and other
      fisheries management-related activities, ecosystem management,
      habitat, including community-based, restoration activities, fish
      passage, atmospheric deposition, remote sensing, data analysis,
      and information management systems.
      
      NOAA employees participate on relevant CBP committees,
      subcommittees, and workgroups, including the Implementation
      Committee, the Science and Technical Advisory Committee, the
      Federal Agencies Advisory Committee, the Living Resources, Air,
      Information Management, Modeling, Monitoring, Budget, and
      Communication and Education subcommittees. NCBO staff chair the
      Chesapeake Bay Environmental Effects Committee and the
      Chesapeake Bay Stock Assessment Committee.
      
      Through the goals and commitments of the Chesapeake 2000
      Agreement, the CBP is moving away from single fish species
      management toward ecosystem or multispecies fisheries management
      efforts, and is looking to NOAA, through NCBO, to take the
      leadership and guide the partnership in that new
      direction. Other major commitments to restore historical levels
      of oyster production, restore living resource habitats,
      submerged aquatic vegetation, and assess the threat of
      introduction of nonindigenous invasive species will all require
      a strong NOAA/NCBO involvement.
