First annual release of the Maryland's Coastal Bays Report Card. These sensitive coastal lagoons received an overall grade of C+ for 2008. Scientists, the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, National Parks Service, state and local politicians, other dignitaries, and the general public gathered to hear the assessment which was based on water quality and other monitoring data and disseminated widely through various media. The Report Card was a collaboration between several entities, including the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, IAN, EcoCheck, and the Maryland Coastal Bays Program.

Oysters deployed as biological indicators of nitrogen source were dried and then ground for stable nitrogen isotope analysis. Muscle tissue is on the left, gills are in the middle, and mantle tissues are on the right.

The 2008 Severn River Report Card Release. The report card summarizes 2008 water quality results, which are based on data collected by the Severn Riverkeeper Program. This report card helps to clarify the Severn's health, and provides instructions on what individuals can do to improve its condition. The release of this report card was attended by local, state, and federal representatives, Severn River Keepers, and IAN staff.

These oyster biological indicators were collected after deployment in a tributary of Monie Bay. One set had a greenish tinge, while the other did not, even though both sets were deployed at the same site.

Oysters are placed in cages which are suspended by buoys and anchored with bricks.
Cages for oyster biological indicators
The oysters in this cage are being deployed as biological indicators of nitrogen source. They will be suspended 0.5 meters above the bottom by the white buoy.
