Encouraging news in the annual Chesapeake Bay & Watershed Report Card: Bay health has improved to C+ for the first time in 20+ years, with conditions improving in 11 of the 15 regions evaluated! The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and the UMCES Integration & Application Network scientists lead the way in advancing understanding and stewardship of our region's greatest natural treasure!
The Chesapeake Bay is improving (C+ this year), but we still need your help to get to "significantly improving!" The health of the Chesapeake Bay is a product of what is happening in its vast watershed. The Bay and its watershed are a human and natural system, and we need to consider the economic, ecological, and societal factors to make an adequate assessment. This year’s report card considers land use in the area with a focus on the Eastern Shore’s watersheds. It also explores the possibility of developing a man-made debris indicator to better understand the types of pollution in the bay and watershed.
