Saving the Chesapeake Bay

Library Binding (Gareth Stevens Pub Learning library Aug. 1, 2013)
Since the 1970s, conservation in the Chesapeake Bay watershed has been a major focus of local environmental groups as well as the federal government. The health of the estuary has been evaluated by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, among other organizations, for years and still needs a lot of help. Readers will delve into the important task of saving the Chesapeake Bay through statistics about the bays health and engaging sidebars full of even more information. Vivid photographs reveal the dangers of pollution and urban sprawl as the main content introduces readers to endangered animals and plants, troubled habitats, and the problem of population growth. The struggles of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay will engage seafood lovers and conservationists alike to take action, even if only in their daily lives.
