ago, glacial sheets from the last ice age begin to melt (Chesapeake Bay Program n.d.). As the glaciers melted the large volume of water began to raise sea levels. The rising seas levels engulfed the coast and flooded the Susquehanna river (“Geological History” n.d.). Once the seas levels have risen, the temperatures continued to rise changing the landscape. So “oak, maple, hickory, and other hardwood species started to appear” (Chesapeake Bay Program n.d.). Once the temperature increases even more

The health of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay was found based on Biological (macroinvertebrates and wildlife) and Chemicals characteristics (pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, nitrates, etc.) as well as physical observations (amount of forested buffers, wetlands, etc.) Overall it was concluded that the health of the water was good to excellent. What was found was that many of the macroinvertebrates found in the water were sensitive or facultative, meaning the water quality was good enough

“Shellfish is the only activity that benefits the bay,”(Sam Houghton, 2015) said Mr.Cook one of the Popponesset Bay three leading oyster farmers. In 2004 the town of Mashpee began restoring oyster aquaculture as a way to remove nitrogen from Popponesset Bay (Sam Houghton, 2015). The towns oyster aquaculture program has grown to 2,000,000 oysters annually (Sam Houghton, 2015).

Then come back to hospital point, you have 30 seconds. Go”. The entire squad bolted for the sea and began to cover themselves with sand. As quickly as possible we threw sand all over our bodies

Every ecosystem on earth relies on the complex relationships made between individual species which have evolved over millions of years. In this jigsaw framework, the loss of any one individual species has a significant impact on the remaining species and the ecosystem, thereby affecting its biodiversity. Per Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, biodiversity is the whole collection of living organisms, consisting of different species of plants and animals, that cohabitate in an ecosystem. This term collectively

The bay that was shown during the movie, Chesapeake Bay, is one of the largest estuaries in the United States. This bay is very susceptible to becoming a dead zone due to all the nitrogen and phosphorus is being brought into the bay from farming. A dead zone does not allow or oxygen to be produced due to all the algae that are present, and once an animal is in a trapped

The word Chesapeake, although there is some scholarly dispute, likely means “Great Bay of Shells” or “Great Shellfish Bay” in the language of the Algonquian Native Americans (“Oyster History”). This translation is appropriate and accurate to anyone familiar with the Chesapeake Bay and its rich history of oysters. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States with over 150 rivers and streams flow into its basin. It measures roughly 200 miles in length, 3.4 to 35 miles in width and

Even though your series Chesapeake Shores has come to an end as far as a book series goes, will you ever consider writing any more books in that series? Well, I'll consider anything.
