In this research note, the Chesapeake Bay Program, which is one of the most famous and advanced watershed management plan and has been undertaken since early 1980', is introduced. The author visited the Chesapeake Bay area and interviewed several key persons in 2006 summer. Based on the information obtained by that visit and the reports or materials related to the Chesapeake Bay, the program called "Chesapeake 2000" agreement, which is now running, and its related topics are examined here. In particular, the system of objectives and its measures, policy making processes, management system, and policy evaluation are focused in order to understand the whole picture of the Chesapeake 2000 program. The Chesapeake Bay was pointed out as "impaired water" by the Federal Clean Water Act in 1999. Further it has been cleared that they have a serious budget deficiency to realize the program, although the Chesapeake 2000 program has already started. It is explored that what efforts they have taken recently, faced with those problems. Finally, taking those problems into consideration, the author's interest, how this management system functions, and its related research themes for the future are shown.
