Collaboration
Envision the Choptank is a collaborative effort, operating since 2015, that brings together nonprofits, government agencies, scientists, and community groups to identify solutions that will restore swimmable, fishable waters to the Choptank River and support healthy and productive native oyster reefs.
Envision the Choptank believes that people and organizations are most effective when they work together, contributing their unique strengths to shared projects. To encourage collaboration, Envision the Choptank follows a collective impact framework with a dedicated steering committee, a designated backbone support team, continuous communication, mutually reinforcing activities, and shared measurement.
Envision the Choptank is developing a community-based Common Agenda that will blend priorities of a diverse range of communities and stakeholders living and working within the Choptank River watershed.
