Generally, segments reflect the unique physical, chemical or biological characteristics of a portion of a waterbody. This ArcGIS map service contains the Chesapeake Bay Program's 104-segment tidal segmentation scheme. It includes smaller segments for some tidal tributaries, specifically for tracking submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and shallow water standards attainment.</span></span></p>
