Chesapeake Bay Program

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. At this moment, I'm not planning to write any more in that series. And as far as that impacts the TV show, amazingly, we got through the entire first season, and we haven't even finished book one. So we've got a long way to go before we would empty out the coffers of the books. That's why I certainly hope it goes on

Cleveland Bay is a shallow bay adjacent to Townsville, north Queensland. The Bay is in the dry tropics and experiences a wet summer season (December - April) and winter dry season (May - November). During the wet season (with an average annual rainfall of 1120 mm), a high flow of water and sediment are deposited into the Bay. The decreasing salinity, and increasing turbidity creates an anoxic environment for inshore species (Petus et al. 2014). Regular deposition of fresh water and sediments are

abundance in the Chesapeake Bay, however today fishermen are struggling to bring in a bountiful harvest due to the level of pollution. The east coast heavily depends on the food able to be harvested from the Chesapeake Bay. Travel is also a major reason people embark upon the Bay with its easy access to various locations. Humans have over crabbed and overfished the bay seizing chances for the species to replenish themselves. Another problem is the aptly titled dead zones in the bay which is due to

Scene in Fig. 1.1., the Chesapeake Bay is substantial in size; at roughly 64,000 miles, it contains roughly fifty rivers and thousands of streams and creeks. It encompasses parts of 6 states, including all of Washington, DC. The Chesapeake Bay is what is known as a watershed, an area that contributes to the drainage to a water body, stream, river, lake or ocean. Rainwater that falls within the 64,000 square miles that is the Chesapeake Bay will subsequently travel through many streams and rivers

Likewise, the Chesapeake Bay, which contain Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and part of South Carolina, also have their own ways of achieving different goals. While many focus on the differences of each region, others focus on the similarities that each of the regions possess. Using common knowledge and the historical documents that have been stumbled on over the past number of years, the reader will be able to understand the differences and similarities between the New England and Chesapeake regions

constructed by people of common origin. These English colonists immigrated to the New World for either economic prosperity or religious freedom. During colonization, two regions were formed, New England and the Chesapeake Bay area. The two contrasting societies of New England and Chesapeake region were the results of diversity of: social and family structure; health and living conditions; economy; religion and beliefs; and government policies. As stated in Document A, unity was encouraged among

By the 1630s, about 1.5 million pounds of tobacco was hauled out of Chesapeake Bay (and almost 40 million towards the 1700s). The Chespeake was hospitable for tobacco cultivation and it blew up the tobacco economy. Sir William Berkeley became governor of Virginia in 1642. He didn’t like that most of his people were poor, unhappy, and armed, but he didn’t help them out of that either. However, he did have friendly policies towards the Indians to monopolize the fur trade. In Virginia (1600s-1650s)
