Chesapeake
Bay - Living Off the Land
Produced by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation
Length: 30 minutes
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.
