programs, and institutional/management approaches. These goals,
which remain current, include:
-Reduce point and nonpoint source loadings to attain nutrient
and dissolved oxygen concentrations necessary to support the
living resources of the Bay.
-Reduce or control point and nonpoint sources of toxic
materials to attain or maintain levels of toxicants not
harmful to humans or the living resources of the Bay.
-Provide for the restoration and protection of living
resources, their habitats, and their ecological relationships.
-Develop and manage related environmental programs with a
concern for their impact on the Bay.
-Support and enhance a cooperative approach toward Bay
management at all levels of government.
The success of programs implemented under the Restoration and
Protection Plan and information collected in the course of
implementing them is providing managers with insights that help
them to refine the goals of the program and plan for future
pollution control strategies.
