Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Chesapeake Research Consortium CRC is a scientific consortium of 7 institutions that conduct scientific and technical activities throughout the Chesapeake Bay region.

The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) encourages scientific and technical activities in the tidal Chesapeake Bay, its drainage basin, and adjoining airshed, as well as adjacent coastal waters of the Middle Atlantic Bight. Recognizing that processes acting in Earth systems far from the Bay also impact its processes and resources, CRC also assists project development in areas far beyond the traditional Bay boundaries. CRC’s primary roles are to assemble multi-disciplinary scientific expertise in innovative research initiatives, to facilitate research and education initiatives throughout the region and, from these activities, to inform the management community and foster improved science-based management across the region and throughout the world.
