Vessel strike of marine mammal

A diagram illustrates the way in which carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean and the impacts acidification can have on marine life. — Atmospheric and Eutrophic Acidification

Adult geese and juvenile goslings paddle around a river cove off Lake Michigan. — Canada geese (Branta canadensis) with goslings

Goose and duck hunters build these blinds on the calm waterways of Chesapeake Bay tributaries. — Duck blind

Tree roots are underminded by wave action and eventually succumb while the shoreline is eroded. — Eroded shoreline with tree snags

Mother duck and ducklings paddle around a river cove off Lake Michigan. — Female mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and ducklings

Stone rip-rap installed by the property owners in an attempt to prevent shoreline erosion. Hardened edges along the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers reduces natural shoreline habitat that fish and other marine animals depend on for food and shelter. — Hardened shoreline prevents erosion

Found on golf courses or vacant gravell parking lots, this noisy plover is best known for its — Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) nest in busy…

This emergent aquatic, with its leaves and flowers above water and portions of the stem under water, is found typically in shallow, quiet water. The seeds can be eaten like nuts and the young leaf-stalks cooked as greens. Deer also feed on these plants. The common name suggests that this plant, as well as the fish known as pickerel, occupy the same habitat. — Pickeral rush (Pontederia cordata)

The oldest type of net used by the Chesapeake Bay watermen is called a pound net. Wooden stakes are pushed into the bottom of the Bay, spaced apart in a line that runs across the tide. Nets are strung between the stakes and along the bottom of the river, making a fish trap. In late February the pound netter starts to put in the stakes. By the middle of March he will set his nets and start fishing. Each day the waterman goes out to the pound net and scoops the fish out with a hand net. He will not remove the pound net, except for many repairs, until November. — Pound net

These traditional boats tended to the oyster fleets working the beds in the Bay, buying harvested oysters from the oystermen in the afternoon, and running those oysters to faraway markets and rail centers in Norfolk, Crisfield, Baltimore, and Washington DC, and to local shucking houses and canneries around the Bay. — Restored Chesapeake Bay oyster buy boat

A graph depicts the low oxygen levels and high ammonium concentrations in 2005 that caused large algae blooms. This put more stress on the ecosystem, resulting in the fish kill. — 2005 Corsica River Fish Kill

A conceptual diagram illustrates the factors that can stimulate the growth of harmful algal blooms in brackish rivers and how these blooms can negatively impact other species within the ecosystem. — Algal Bloom Causation and Impacts in Brackish…

A graph shows the relationship between nitrogen levels and the brown tide cell concentrations in Maryland's Chesapeake and Coastal Bays. — Aureococcus Anophagefferens Blooms and Nitrogen…

A conceptual diagram illustrates the practice of planting or maintaining buffer vegetation along the water's edge. — Buffer Vegetation as a Key Stewardship Behavior

A conceptual diagram illustrates the factors that cause brown tide algae blooms to occur in high magnitudes and what impacts these blooms have on the rest of the ecosystem. — Causes and Impacts of Brown Tide Algal Blooms

An image illustrates the importance of cleaning up after pets, and of having pet cleanup materials available to the public. — Cleaning Up Pet Waste as a Key Watershed…

An image depicts the planting of cover crops, which grow during the winter season to stabilize the soil until the spring growing season. — Cover Crops as a Key Watershed Stewardship…

A graph illustrates the issue that the use of nitrogen fertilizers in Maryland has more than doubled since 1970. — Increased Nitrogen Fertilizer Use in Maryland…

An image illustrates how lawn fertilizer can negatively impact the watershed when rain washes it into the water system. — Lawn Fertilizer Limitation as a Key Stewardship…

A graph depicts the trend of increasing prorocentrum minimum levels since 1970 in the Chesapeake Bay. — Prorocentrum Minimum Levels since 1970

An image depicts a rain barrel attached to the downspout on the side of a house. These barrels collect rain to be reused at a later time. — Rain Barrels as a Key Watershed Stewardship…
