  skos:definition """The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS), one of the original CBP Federal partners,
has the critical role to provide unbiased scientific information that is
utilized to formulate, implement, and assess the effectiveness of restoration
goals. The USGS Chesapeake Bay Science Program is meeting these needs through a
combination of research, monitoring, modeling, and interaction with the
partners in the CBP and the Department of Interior (DOI). To meet the expanded
needs of Chesapeake 2000 and DOI partners, the USGS redefined our science
goals:

1. Improve watershed and land-use data to understand changes in water quality
and living resources.

2. Understand the impact of sediment on water clarity and biota.

3. Enhance the prediction and monitoring of nutrient delivery to the Bay.

4. Assess the occurrence of toxic constituents and emerging contaminants.

5. Assess the factors affecting the health of fish and water birds.

6. Disseminate information and enhance decision-support tools.

The USGS Chesapeake Science Program depends on the coordination of multiple
USGS Programs and partners that have a scientific interest in the Bay
restoration. Over forty USGS scientists located in offices throughout the Bay
watershed and at the CBP, are involved in scientific investigations and
information dissemination. See our fact sheet on the U.S. Geological Survey
Chesapeake Bay Science Program FS-125-01 and the U.S. Geological Survey
Circular 1220 - The U.S. Geological Survey and the Chesapeake Bay -- The Role
of Science in Environmental Restoration for additional information.
