| Abstract | The document provides guidance for Chesapeake Bay resource managers and others on how existing submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and tidal shallow water habitats with potential for supporting SAV in the Bay can be fully protected, given current human uses of and demands on the Bay. In preparing this guidance document, the Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Workgroup of the Chesapeake Bay Program's Living Resources Subcommittee reviewed, summarized, and compared current state and federal policies and guidelines for protection of or minimizing impacts on SAV. Next, the workgroup identified key management issues facing the protection of existing and future SAV resources. Finally, building on current state and federal guidelines and policies, the workgroup identified guidance to first avoid, then minimize, direct impacts to SAV in the Bay and its tidal tributaries. |
