Notes: "To achieve mandatory federal Chesapeake Bay restoration goals, a diverse and complex web of strategies is being implemented at the national, state, and local level. In Maryland, a variety of approaches are being used to reduce the impacts of pollution ... Three specific strategies that are receiving a significant amount of attention are (1) maximizing the use of cover crops; (2) establishing an agricultural certainty program; and (3) expanding the use of nutrient trading markets.
