Composed of scientists, ecologists, and economists, Work Group did advise both Bi-State Blue Crab Advisory Committee and Chesapeake Bay Commission. Work Group provided answers to technical questions and pursued specific scientific research to assist Committee's work. When Committee ceased to function in July 2003, Work Group continued its work to assist Commission.

Work Group last met in 2006.
