The Chesapeake Bay Communications Coordi-
nating Office was created by the Governor in No-
vember 1988 to promote public education and
citizen involvement in the restoration of
Chesapeake Bay (Executive Order 01.01.1988.16).
To increase cooperation and reduce duplication of
programs and materials used to teach people about
the Bay, the Office coordinates Bay-related work of
State government agencies.
The Office organizes a variety of education pro-
grams, including the State's Party on the Bay cele-
bration each August, and raises funds from the
private sector in order to sponsor educational, Bay-
related events and activities. The annual
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Walk held each May is
coordinated by the Office, as is an annual volunteer
cleanup day, Give a Day for the Bay. The Office
developed and now markets the State's license plate
campaign—Treasure the Chesapeake. The Office also
produces the State's annual report on progress
made in the Bay restoration.
Appointed by the Governor, the Director chairs
the Communications Subcommittee of the
Chesapeake Bay Program.
