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

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 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 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 conceptual diagram illustrates the key features of the Chesapeake Bay watershed as well as the inputs that stimulate eutrophication and the symptoms of eutrophication. — The Causes and Effects of Eutrophication

A map depicts the general distribution of several of Maryland's common harmful algal blooms, in the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays. — The Distributions of Common Harmful Algal Blooms…

A conceptual diagram illustrates the current issues that bay subtidal and mudflat habitats face as well as the problems they are likely to face in the future as climate change impacts this ecosystem. — Effects of Climate Change on the Bay Subtidal and…

Anguillicoloides crassus (Nematode Worm)

Batis maritima (Pickleweed)

The steps in this diagram assist Trust Fund recipients in determining the best experimental design and monitoring method for their water quality monitoring project. — Water Quality Management Decision Tree

In the section of the river above the dam builds up with sediment, making the dam shallower. High water flow causes scouring and the transport of sediment and associated nutrients over the dam. On this other side of the dam phosphorus mobilizes in reaction with salt water. Further down the river seagrass beds grow on the Susquehanna flats. — Conowingo Dam Reservoir and Susquehanna Flats…

Ranking tributaries by water quality, then by diffuse nitrogen sources can help to determine which watersheds are high priority. High priority watersheds are those responsible for proportionally more nutrient and sediment inputs to receiving waters than other watersheds. — Steps to Identifying High Priority Tributaries

The timing of tropical storms and hurricanes can have major impacts on the life histories of Chesapeake Bay flora and fauna. Changes in water salinity can cause early spawning in some species, such as the blue crab, and increased sediment can cause widespread die-off of seagrasses. — Storm Timing and Impacts on Chesapeake Bay Flora…

This diagram illustrates the main threats from hurricanes and tropical storms. The counterclockwise circulation of winds in the Northern Hemisphere causes maximum winds and maximum storm surges. — Threats from Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

A diagram illustrates the flow capacity for the Mississippi River in thousands of cubic feet per second, based on the 1956 project design flood. The Ohio river is the 200,000 square-mile eastern drainage of the Mississippi River watershed. Diagram from — Flow Capacity for the Mississippi River

Some of the most common threats to the national parks ecosystems include those to quality of air, quality and quantity of available water, and the parks native species. Prescribed fire is used to prevent uncontrolled forest fires and to reduce the growth of nonnative species. — Generic Resources and Threats to the Northern…

While industrialization and urbanization have had a negative environmental impact on the Ohio River today several organizations are working together to combined economic and development opportunities with recreational and ecosystem goals. Diagram from — Main Threats and Key Features of the Ohio River…
