satellites to the reserve system, as will be explained in following sections. ClaaaificaUnn firhpnw npypl npmpnr Several attempts have been to classify physical and biological components of the Chesapeake Bay environment. EPA (1983) divided the Bay into physical segments based on similarities in salinity, hydrology, and turbidity. This scheme was modified by this study to delineate nine biogeographic subregions of the Bay: upper bay, middle bay, lower bay east, lower bay west, tidal freshwater tributary reaches, brackish water tributary reaches, lower estuarine tributary reaches, bay mouth, and embayments (Fig. 1). To account for ecosystem diversity within biogeographic subregions, a number of existing coastal classification schemes were combined to produce a hierarchial classification which includes coastal geomorphology (Clark, 1982); deepwater and wetlands habitats (Cowardin et al., 1979), nonvegetated wetlands (Theberge and Boesch, 1978), emergent tidal wetland communities (Silberhorn, 1978), shrub and forested wetland communities (McCormick and Somes, 1982), and deciduous forests of the Virginia Coastal Plain (Braun, 1950). The classifications were regionalized and served as a checklist for identifying site characteristics to be represented in the reserve system. ThP Rvalnat-ion Crltftria The existing System regulations list the factor which must be taken into consideration when selecting and evaluating candidate sites. These factors include biogeographic and typological representation, ecologic value, representation of an entire ecological unit, degree of onsite disturbance, research importance, potential for education and interpretation, and various other management considerations. The regulations, however, do not provide guidance in application or evaluation of these factors (i.e., they do not constitute evaluation criteria). This necessitated the development of evaluation criteria as part of the site selection process. In consultation with the state of Maryland, VIMS developed the evaluation criteria described below: Bino-engraphic Rnr«r.inn — The site is located within a subregion of the Chesapeake Bay which is as yet unrepresented in the multiple site reserve system for the Chesapeake Bay. This criterion is used to evaluate the site's benefit to the reserve system (and to the national System) based upon its representation of a distinct biogeographical subregion within the Chesapeake Bay. It is used to ensure that all important biogeographic provinces are adequately represented and that there is not duplication within the Virginia and Maryland reserve systems. Errnlogir Rt>pr(»a«»nr«r ion — The site represents a significant component of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem because of the 623
