Troubled tributary: Runoff, growth turn the Choptank into Md.'s second-most polluted river
Staff quoted: Tom Fisher, Bill Dennison
It looked like just another beautiful day on the water as Bill Dennison and his crew of biologists pushed off from their pier at the Horn Point Laboratory and sailed toward the mouth of the Choptank River. The sun glistened on the waves. In the distance, craggy, tree-lined peninsulas carved the river into jagged coves that have long been home to crabs and rockfish.

Environmental Report: Chesapeake Bay Health Worsening
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
The Chesapeake Bay's health is going from bad to worse, according to an environmental group that graded the bay's health as a "D" for the ninth consecutive year.

Oxford lab director talks about Bay health
Staff quoted: UMCES
EASTON - A car dealership may be an unusual place to hold a discussion on the Chesapeake Bay, but that's what happened at David Wheeler Volvo Saturday.

Coastal Habitats Are The Biosphere's Most Imperiled Ecosystems
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
The BBVA Foundation's Third Debate on Conservation Biology allowed leading international experts to present findings of their latest research into the scale, causes and consequences of global loss of coastal habitats. The disappearance of these ecosystems, which include coral reefs, mangrove forests, wetlands and seagrass meadows, has serious consequences like loss of biodiversity, depletion of exploitable living resources, impaired capacity of the oceans to sequester CO2 and loss of the leisure value of the coastal zone. Not only that, the coastline becomes more vulnerable to the increased erosion associated with rising sea levels.

Drought Brings Mixed Results To Chesapeake
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
HAVRE DE GRACE, MD (2007-10-12): Throughout most of Chesapeake Bay, this year's crab catch has been a little below normal. But up near the Susquehanna Flats at the top of the bay, it's been the best season in years.

NOAA report finds most coastal areas suffer from excess nutrients: Chesapeake, mid-Atlantic the most impacted area of the U.S. coastline
Staff quoted: Don Boesch
The vast majority of the nation's estuarine waters suffer from excess nutrients, and most are predicted to worsen by 2020 as populations in coastal areas continue to swell, according to a recent report.

Patapsco, Back Rivers Get Poor Environmental Marks
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
It's no surprise to anybody that Baltimore's rivers are in the worst shape of any in Maryland's portion of the Chesapeake Bay.

Environmental Reports Grade Severn, Patuxent Rivers
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
If the sources of problems on the Chester and Corsica rivers aren't easily visible from the water, they are readily apparent on the Severn. Deep green lawns sweep from estate houses on hills above the river to bulk heading at the water's edge. Storm water gushes from drainage pipes, carrying with it all the sediment and pollutants from nearby roads and parking lots.

Environmental Report Cards for Corsica and Chester Rivers
Staff quoted: Bill Dennison
You can motor from Chestertown to Comegys Bight, nearly 10 miles on the Chester River, and see nothing but forested shoreline, wetlands and the occasional mansion poking out from behind the trees. Yet this river on the Upper Western Shore and the Corsica, its largest tributary, fared only slightly better on the UMCES report card than those in the heavily populated suburbs of Baltimore; a D plus as opposed to a D minus. So what gives here?
The Annapolis Capital (Sun 5 Aug, 2007)
Editorial: Reports on bay's plight meaningless without action
Staff quoted: Integration and Application Network
This week yet another report was issued that concluded that the Chesapeake Bay is heavily polluted with nutrients.
