Chesapeake Steward
Build a healthier coastal community. Select projects, earn community support, unlock grants, and watch the shoreline change.
How to Play
Goal: Create a balanced coastal community by improving water quality, biodiversity, resilience, and community support.
Budget: You start with $50,000. Projects cost money, but community support can unlock new grants.
Grants: Support at 20, 40, 60, and 80 unlocks larger grants. Lower-cost community actions can help build support, while larger restoration and infrastructure projects require planning and funding.
Levels: Achievement levels are earned through visible map progress, balanced indicators, and stewardship choices.
