Coalition Leads

Each jurisdiction in the Chesapeake Bay watershed has a role to play in the restoration effort. In order to ensure our members from the Bay states are not only coordinating their work but able to discuss state specific issues and threats, the Coalition created the coalition lead structure. Each state in the watershed has a lead who is responsible for convening and organizing work around our Coalition priorities, while also looking for new and emerging issues that may need Coalition support. Our leads work hard to ensure that our members are not only knowledgeable about Bay issues, but engaging with the larger membership to help solve them. 

You can find your coalition lead below.
