 This site addresses enviromental issues. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is fighting against toxic pollution, damaged wetlands, and sediment clogged creeks. On this trip you will play a critical role in the Bay's rehabilitation and in environmental preservation. Industry, roads, and people dump chemical compounds into rivers. The
excess nitrogen and phosphoros causes plankton to die and bacteria to grow.
This lowers the oxygen in the bay which has a serious environmental impact.
