Checking In On The Chesapeake: Some Questions Of Design, Jonathan Cannon

University of Richmond Law Review

The Chesapeake Bay Program ("the CBP" or "Program") has been widely celebrated as a model of collaborative management for large multijurisdictional watersheds and for ecosystem management more generally.' In an article published six years ago, I joined in the celebration.2 But recent events warrant consideration of whether restructuring of the program is called for.

Legal Issues Affecting Local Governments In Implementing The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, W. Todd Benson, Philip O. Garland

University of Richmond Law Review
