deep troubles over the Chesapeake Bay. My biggest concern is about the blue crabs in the estuary. Published articles indicate that the blue crab population is reducing due to over-harvesting and reduction of suitable habitat. Even though the blue crab population has made a remarkable comeback in recent years, it is vital for us to act by any means necessary to save the population of the blue crabs. As you may know, blue crabs help support the fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay. However, over-harvesting

The evidence that we are about to give will indicate that Poultry Tech will not be adding more pollution to the bay by building a hotel on our land. During this trial, Poultry Tech will prove that we can build a hotel on our land and not harm the Chesapeake Bay. This hotel that we are planning to build will create many new job opportunities for the people of Waterville. It will also bring many new people to

Case 2: Chesapeake Bay watershed System Complexity, Data, and Impairment Description The Chesapeake Bay watershed is an example of a complex modeling system that consists of a large watershed (165,759 km2) with flow-regulated rivers, large urban centers and expansive rural areas, and an estuary (US EPA, 2010). The Chesapeake Bay TMDL allocates total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and sediment loads to reduce the size of the oxygen-depleted zones in the bay to restore its living resources. As such,
Have you ever thought about how fish are caught? Trawling is one type of fishing, it is a method of fishing that uses a large weighted net, and drags it along the seafloor crushing everything in its path. Trawling is used in many protected areas, destroying them, causing them to become dead zones. These zones are called dead zones because they are filled with toxic sediment which makes the areas uninhabitable. There are three main reasons why trawling should be banned. First, it is a very wasteful
The Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, is a vital resource for the local community, economy, and ecosystem. However, it is facing critical environmental issues that threaten its health and sustainability. Human activities are the root cause of these problems, and it is our responsibility to take action to save the Bay. In this essay, we will discuss the types of human activity that affect the Bay's health, why it is essential to restore its health, and the action plans or steps

The 13 Colonies are broken down into 3 parts, Middle, Southern, and New England Colonies. There were many similarities and differences between all of the 13 Colonies. Many of them ranging from their climate and geography to the role women and African Americans played. A variety of people came from all around the world to the 13 Colonies for many different reasons. In the Middle Colonies, there was a very diverse population. It was composed of Dutch, French, Germans, Scottish, and Irish. The Southern
settlements shared very few similarities. In fact, the single uniting trait that they all had in common was what continent they were settled upon. Two regions, the Chesapeake Bay area and New England, both developed with significant variations. The differences in societal development between the New England Colonies and the Chesapeake Bay Colonies was due to the difference in the primary religion of the majority of settlers in the specific area and the people who desired to settle there which would

This difference in development can be rooted back to the geographic features of the respective areas as well as the aspirations of the settlers.

New England was mostly settled by people

craft carrying 1000 troops under the commanded of Admiral La Perouse raided into Hudson’s Bay and destroyed the Prince of Wales and York Factory forts. It appears that La Perouse had counted on arriving just in time to secure a handsome prize in the Company's ships, for which he had lain in wait in the bay. However, the three Hudson Bay ships were able to avoid capture by using their superior knowledge of the bay. Frustrated at the escape of the Company's ships and cargoes, La Perouse sent a frigate
unsuccessful campaign in the Carolinas, General Cornwallis moved up into Yorktown to join the British forces that were already there. His position, however, was vulnerable to any American ships that would seek to form a blockade in the nearby Chesapeake Bay. Led by Baron von Steuben, General Anthony Wayne, and General Marquis de Lafayette, American forces fought the British in several small battles, forcing them to retreat down the York peninsula. Believing that Yorktown was an excellent strategic
battle was quick lasting only 30 minutes, the Argus was outmatched and her gunnery was below the level set by the American ships previously: “before the British could board, the American vessel struck her colours.” This, along with the defeat of the Chesapeake, marked the beginning of the end for the short-lived American naval supremacy. The British created a more effective blockade of the American coast and no longer allowed its
