We got to read maps of the watershed, learn about sediment transport, agricultural (farming) nutrient run off, toxins (catfish cancer!!!), and run off impact the health of the bay.
This can be tested by checking the turbidity of the water (how much light can go through and help the bay grasses), as well as the oxygen level of the water (so fish can breathe!)
We found seven different species and even handled the fish! Despite the cold and the flurries, it was an excellent experience, thanks to Claire and Eric, our Chesapeake experts!
