What is the Critical Area Protection Act?
The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Protection Act was enacted in 1984 by the General Assembly to help reverse the deterioration of the Chesapeake Bay. The act designated all land within 1,000 feet of tidal waters or wetlands as a "Critical Area" - areas with the greatest potential to affect water quality, wildlife habitats and overall ecological health.
