At the Conservation Innovation Center (CIC), we serve as a catalyst for change, leveraging cutting-edge geospatial data science, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to tackle pressing environmental and conservation challenges in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Our goal is to transform data into precise and actionable insights that restore and sustain the Bay’s health for current and future generations.

The CIC has pioneered the use of high-resolution data products to deepen our understanding of both precision-based and landscape-scale conservation. Through strong public and private partnerships, the CIC's insights inform policies and drive targeted project priorities to maximize conservation outcomes. Using evidence-based strategies, quantifiable nature-based climate solutions and advanced analytics, we create innovative tools and analyses that empower evidence-based decision-making. Our approach results in significant and measurable impacts on our environment, safeguarding the vitality of the Chesapeake Bay.
