Chesapeake Bay Association Inc. is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization committed to protecting our great natural resource, the Chesapeake Bay. We support improvements to the Bay's environment, especially related to the environment's impact on commerce and recreational activities on the Bay. We also partner with communities, community associations, and groups on and near the Bay as they are impacted by the Bay and have a significant impact on the Bay. We help with Community Clean-Up Days to keep trash from ending up in the Bay or its tributaries, with tree planting, provide educational programs, and provide scholarship donations.
