Stewardship is the act of protecting the environment through
conservation and restoration. Stewardship at CBNERR-MD involves the
long-term protection of thousands of acres of estuarine land and water
in our most precious resource, the Chesapeake Bay.
The CBNERR-MD Stewardship program is integrated with both the research
and education programs and its activities focus on monitoring the flora
and fauna and managing the components natural resources.
Stewardship activities at CBNERR-MD are designed to demonstrate best
management practices that other resource professionals, local
decision-makers, and the general public can apply in their own
communities.
