The
Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU)
is a partnership among 12 university/research and 6 federal agency
partners whose members strive to understand and protect the natural
and cultural resources of the region. The CW CESU was established
in August 2001 through a Cooperative Agreement among its partners.
Since that time, the Agreement has been amended five times to
reflect changes in the participating partners. In August 2006,
the original Cooperative Agreement was renewed
for another 5 years. Contact the CW CESU Host Office for details.
