Environmental Literacy Goal. Every student in the region graduates environmentally literate having participated in meaningful watershed educational experiences in elementary, middle, and high school that were supported by teachers who have received professional development in environmental education and schools that are models of environmental sustainability. *OPTION 2: Format for each goal would be: Overview/importance to ecosystem; Goals; Outcomes By this Agreement, we commit to work toward achievement of the goals set forth below and such other goals as may be determined from time to by the Executive Council. We further agree to set measurable outcomes for each goal. 1. Water Quality Goals Restore water quality to achieve standards for DO, clarity/SAV, and chlorophyll-a in the Bay and its tidal waters as articulated in the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).  Investigate existing and emerging opportunities to achieve the most cost- effective pollution reductions and options to finance implementation.  Develop and promote the best science available to monitor existing water quality and trends and predict the effects of future management decisions. Outcomes - 2025 Watershed Implementation Plans (WIP) Outcome: Have all controls installed by 2025 to achieve the Bay’s DO, water clarity/SAV, and chlorophyll a criteria. - 2017 WIP Outcome: Have practices in place by 2017 that are expected to achieve 60 percent of the load reductions necessary to achieve applicable water quality standards compared to 2009 levels. Toxic Contaminants Goal Reduce the introduction and impact of toxic contaminants in the watershed, from both existing sources and emerging sources to levels consistent with….. Outcomes - x (continued . . . ) (Option 2, continued)
Environmental Literacy Goal. This goal was opposed by one or more members of the PSC at its last meeting. However, we believe that the environmental literacy goal, especially one that provides meaningful Bay or stream outdoor experiences for every school student, is a crucial education and outreach responsibility of the Chesapeake Bay Program. While some jurisdictions have expressed concern with this outcome, we are mindful that 80% of this commitment in Chesapeake 2000 was achieved in only 5 years of implementation. Many watershed organizations in our region deliver programs that help make these meaningful watershed experiences a reality for students and this goal provides the states with an opportunity to continue engaging these groups in contributing to the accomplishment and tracking of this outcome. Together with educational development opportunities for teachers, the proposed student literacy and teacher/educator outcomes (focus should be on these) are essential to the future of our restoration and protection and the need to inspire a new generation of leaders and stewards. While an important goal, the current outcomes as proposed still lack a mechanism for measuring progress.
Environmental Literacy Goal. Every student in the region graduates with the ability to use scientific evidence and citizenship skills to act responsibly to protect and restore their local watershed. •
Environmental Literacy Goal. CBF firmly believes in the value of the “meaningful watershed experience” in motivating students, enhancing their learning experience, and engendering them with a strong sense of environmental stewardship. Our Education Program has been very active in working to achieve the existing goal and we will continue to provide support to achieve future goals and outcomes. We recommend replacing the existing draft CBF June 26 restated orally 7-11-13 GIT 5 RESOLVED – see above.
