Twenty two university/research institutions and nine federal agencies comprise
the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW
CESU). These partners provide leadership in watershed science
and stewardship with special emphasis on the watershed of the
Chesapeake Bay.
The Chesapeake Watershed is home to more than 3,600 species and
over 15 million people all competing for resources and space within
this 64,000 square mile region. The CW CESU promotes stewardship
and integrated ecosystem management of natural and cultural resources
within the Chesapeake Watershed through collaborative research,
technical assistance and education.
