A draft Plan of Action will be completed within the month and the Bay Program will circulate the document for review and comment.

Congress and the Maryland-Virginia Legislative Advisory Commission on the Chesapeake Bay created by the State Legislatures would inter-act, Len Mangiaracina, Director of the Bay Program, said: “We are looking forward to working with the Joint Commission, to support them where we can, to coordinate our activities for mutual benefit and most importantly, to present our findings to a group empowered to implement. I think the time has come for this type of Commission. It’s the first step toward managing the Bay as a single, natural system.”
