They also suggested taking control of fisheries management from the states. Those and other ideas for accelerating progress of the bay cleanup are included in a series of draft reports that President Barack Obama has ordered. They were released by the Chesapeake Bay Program, a state-federal partnership that for the past 26 years has had only limited success to restore the nation's largest estuary. In a statement, Chesapeake Bay Foundation President William C. Baker said he was encouraged by the Environmental Protection Agency report pledging immediate action but said what was missing were 'clearly identified bold, specific, and measurable pollution reductions EPA will pursue today.' The statement continued: 'Restoring clean water to the Chesapeake Bay and the streams and rivers of its watershed is a massive undertaking that will take strong commitment and strong action in the face of significant opposition. Today's reports line up the edge pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. The question yet to be answered is whether government will put together all the right pieces in the middle to complete the clean water picture for all the citizens of our region.' The reports will be reviewed and integrated into a draft cleanup strategy in November. Plans are expected to be finalized after more public comment in May.
