"With the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Program’s 2017 mid-point assessment of the EPA’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulatory process, it is timely to convene a symposium aimed at examining the observations and models that were used in that assessment and discuss future needs and challenges for the next one in 2025 and beyond. There is a need for higher temporal resolution measurements and higher spatial resolution models. Research should be focused on developing a better mechanistic understanding about and models of physical, biological and chemical processes in the airshed, watershed and estuary. Additionally, more flexible sampling and modeling approaches are also needed for resolving management impacts on water quality and living resources over a wide range of scales."
