What is the Tributary Strategy Program and how does it relate to the Tributary Teams?
Maryland’s Tributary Strategy Program is a broad-based, citizen and government partnership that focuses on nutrient pollution reduction and the preservation and restoration of habitat throughout the state’s Chesapeake Bay watershed. Using both regulatory and voluntary means, this program has, at its core, the state’s Tributary Teams, an innovative public outreach component of the program. Maryland’s Tributary Teams, consist of ten, geographical-oriented groups, based on the 10 major sub-watersheds found in Maryland. Each team has 30 to 35 members appointed by the Governor. The teams focus on policy, legislation, hands-on implementation, and public education. Each sub-watershed has a plan, or Tributary Strategy, that when implemented, would reduce nutrients in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed by 40%. A two year process to develop new Tributary Strategies is currently underway.
