Chesapeake Bay Program awards competitive grants to states, tribal and local governments, non-governmental organizations, interstate agencies and academic institutions to reduce and prevent pollution and to improve the living resources in the Chesapeake Bay. The proposed activities will focus resources on managing best management practices (BMPs) in the Chesapeake watershed in the context of future climate risk. These efforts are specifically focused on a multi-agency partnership to examine the vulnerability of BMPs to future climate conditions and to accelerate adoption of stormwater management practices that are appropriately adapted or designed to be resilient in the face of increasing rainfall volumes and intensities expected in the future.
