The Chesapeake Bay is home to one of the largest and longest running ecosystem restoration efforts in the world. Over the last 50 years, billions have been invested to restore the Bay, and the world is watching to see how it responds. Chesapeake Conversations takes an in depth look at what’s working for the Chesapeake -- and what’s not.
Following the call of our health officials and Governors to practice social distancing during the global pandemic, our Find Your Chesapeake Trips and Tips newsletter now offers virtual and other experiences that help you continue to explore the Chesapeake.
While nothing beats the experience of seeing the beauty of the Chesapeake firsthand, we’ve created virtual river tours along the trail, similar to Google Street View, so that you can explore the Chesapeake.
Imagine a 21st-century park—a collection of parks in the Chesapeake Bay that bring national and international attention to the Bay’s significant natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resources. These parks would become the Chesapeake National Recreation Area and tell a common narrative about the nation’s largest estuary and one of the world’s largest environmental restoration efforts.
