Abstract
This report builds on two decades of aerial and ground survey SA V distribution data, as well as development of SA V habitat requirements, establishment of SAV restoration goals and targets, compilation of historical water quality data, and implementation of a baywide monitoring program. The objectives of this report are to:
• describe trends in SAV distribution and abundance in Chesapeake Bay and its tidaf tributaries from 1 971 to 1991 ;
• relate SAV distribution over time with tiered distribution restoration goals and targets;
• compare trends in SAV distribution with corresponding trends in water quality; and • correlate SAV distribution with river flow
