The Chesapeake Bay Field Office works with landowners, private and community organizations, government agencies and others to conserve, protect and enhance fish and wildlife in the Chesapeake Bay area (Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia) by:

  • Restoring essential wetland, upland, and streamside (riparian) habitat;
  • Assisting private landowners to restore habitat for pollinators, migratory birds, fish, and threatened and endangered species;
  • Recovering populations of plants and animals listed under the Endangered Species Act;
  • Connecting communities to nature through broad-based initiatives like Baltimore Rivers to Harbor Urban Refuge Partnership;
  • Reducing renewable energy impacts to wildlife through best management practices;
  • Controlling or eradicating invasive, like nutria, from the Chesapeake Bay region; and

  • Managing wildlife habitat at beneficial dredge material sites such as Poplar Island and Masonville Cove.
