Description

In 1998, Congress passed the Chesapeake Bay Initiative Act to establish a linked network of locations, such as parks, historic seaports, or museums -- known as gateways -- where the public can access & experience the bay. The Nat. Park Service provides support to the gateways through a related grant program. In 2005, congressional concerns were raised about the Park Service’s mgmt. of the program. This report determines the extent to which the: (1) criteria for selecting gateways are transparent & consistently applied; (2) grants have been awarded to support the program goals of conserving & restoring, interpreting, & accessing Bay-related resources; & (3) Park Service has taken action to improve program mgmt. & oversight.
