Chesapeake Bay health story website launched

Chesapeake Bay Health Story website launchedA new website designed to tell fact-based stories about Chesapeake Bay health was produced by IAN in a partnership with the Maryland state government. This website uses water quality, fisheries and habitat data, various maps and graphs to create a narrative version of the historical and future trends of Chesapeake Bay health. The website displays annual maps and graphs using a slider bar on a timeline and is richly illustrated with photographs, maps, conceptual diagrams and data graphs. The website also describes major causes of pollution, solutions to challenges, and addresses future directions. We are very interested in obtaining feedback on the website and encourage comments, suggestions or additional information sources.
