The Chesapeake National Recreation Area Act of 2025 aims to create a new recreational area in the Chesapeake Bay region, covering parts of Maryland and Virginia, with the primary goal of preserving and protecting the Bay's natural, cultural, and recreational resources while enhancing public access and enjoyment. This legislation establishes the Chesapeake National Recreation Area as a new unit of the National Park System, marking a significant change from existing laws that do not currently designate this area in such a manner.
