Chesapeake Bay

Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States, located along the mid-Atlantic coast, primarily between Maryland and Virginia. It is a vital ecological area, known for its rich biodiversity, including fish, crabs, and birds. The Bay plays a crucial role in local economies through fishing, tourism, and agriculture. However, it faces significant environmental challenges, such as pollution and habitat loss, largely due to urban development and agricultural runoff. Conservation efforts aim to restore its health, ensuring the Bay remains a valuable resource for wildlife and communities.
