Conceptual diagram illustrating a mathematical model which represents nitrogen inputs and exports in coastal bays.
Nitrogen exchange in a coastal bay
Conceptual diagram illustrating the methodology in analyzing the nitrogen in a water source using macroalgae as a bioindicator.
Nitrogen stable isotope methodology
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences between surfaces that allow groundwater flow, and surfaces that restrict it, and how each affects groundwater quality.
Pervious vs. impervious surfaces
Sign preventing disturbance of natural habitat including sea oats and other dune plants.
Protected Dune Area
The Atlantic Rangia or wedge clam Rangia cuneata originates from the Gulf of Mexico. From there this bivalve colonized the Atlantic coast of North-America and Europe. The species mainly live in estuaries, brackish and freshwater. In ports, the Atlantic Rangia can become a pest as it establishes itself in industrial cooling pipes where it can obstruct optimal water flow.
Rangia cuneata (Atlantic Rangia)
Conceptual diagram illustrating the factors that influence how much light is absorbed by seagrass. This includes phytoplankton, organic matter, suspended sediment, and the epiphytes that grow on the seagrass.
Relative light attenuation for seagrass
Conceptual diagram illustrating the universal causes and effects of sea-level rise.
Relative sea-level rise
Conceptual diagram illustrating an interpolated measure of salinity of the Lagoon of Venice.
Salinity of the Lagoon of Venice
Conceptual diagram illustrating how sea-level rise creates mainland-fringing marshland, as well as how it affects existing marshes.
Sea-level rise & marshes
Conceptual diagram illustrating the groundwater flow, and related processes based on season and precipitation in the Delmarva area.
Seasonal water table
conceptual diagram illustrating a typical residential septic system.
Septic system
Conceptual Diagram illustrating the elements of a soft shoreline and how they can benefit a habitat, versus the elements of a hard shoreline that offer few benefits towards a habitat, and in some cases can be damaging.
Soft vs. hard shorelines
The Commerson's anchovy (Stolephorus commersonnii), also known as Devis's anchovy, Long-jawed anchovy, Teri anchovy, is a species of anadromous fish in the Engraulidae family. It is widely used as a live or dead bait in tuna fishery.
Stolephorus commersonnii (Commerson's Anchovy)
Conceptual diagram illustrating the differences between habitats in natural streams versus man-made ditches including the vegetation, water temperature, and the relative debris that contribute toward a habitat.
Stream habitat vs. ditch habitat
Conceptual diagram that illustrates the elements that contribute to a enviromentally sustainable community versus an unmanaged, unsustainable community.
sustainable vs. unsustainable communities
Conceptual diagram illustrating the 'Brunn rule', which is used to predict the landward movement of the shoreline relative to sea-level rise. This consists of developing an 'equilibrium profile' for the shoreface, which is shaped by the gradual release of wave energy approaching the shore.
The 'Brunn rule'
Conceptual diagram illustrating the carbon cycle relative to waterways, and the organisms that live there.
The carbon cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the clean water train, used to help visualize the concepts of managing a healthy water source.
The clean water act
Conceptual diagram illustrating the shoreline change of Fenwick and Assateague Island since 1850.
The evolution of Assateague Fenwick & Assateague…
Conceptual diagram illustrating an American eel's life cycle based in the coastal bays of Maryland.
The life cycle of the american eel
Conceptual diagram illustrating the life cycle of the summer flounder in the Maryland Coastal Bays.
The life cycle of the summer flounder
Conceptual diagram illustrating the nitrogen cycle, relative to waterways. The nitrogen cycle is very complex and involves many transformations.
The nitrogen cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the inputs and processes that are a part of the phosphorus cycle.
The phosphorus cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the different types of waterways attached to the coast.
