Abstract
Stemming directly from needs expressed by regional residents and practitioners, the State of the York Watershed System is a synthesis of the status, trends and opportunities in the York River, Mobjack Bay and Piankatank River basins. The report details a System largely (75%) natural in character facing the collective impacts of an increasing population and changing environmental conditions. Content, developed to showcase place-based data and perspective for informed decision-making and inspired action, is delivered in three overarching sections focused on landscape, water quality, and natural and cultural resources. Key System facts, resources and tools are highlighted throughout the report alongside case studies, calls to action, and opportunities for continued study and/or investment. Led by Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia, this effort represents the first of its kind since 2000, and incorporates the work and/or input of more than 160 people regionwide. More on the effort, including the report’s companion pieces, here: https://yorkriverroundtable.org/soty/
