Narrated by Walter Cronkite, this video outlines the environmental problems affecting the Chesapeake Bay and how we impact water quality in the Bay. This video shows examples of:
  • How residential and commercial development, sewage treatment facilities, and run off from farms and highways pollute the Bay and upset the ecosystem.

  • The resilience of the Bay and the wetlands surrounding it and the relationship between our actions and the Bay's natural ability to withstand pollution.

  • How successful land preservation, reclamation and restoration programs can directly improve water quality in the Bay.
