Report: Chesapeake Bay health improved last year; first full year of new Republican governor
BALTIMORE (AP) — A report by environmental scientists says the health of the Chesapeake Bay has improved as efforts to reduce runoff from land continue.
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science released the report Tuesday. The center says improvements in 2015 in water quality, chlorphyll and nitrogen levels contributed to a resurgence in aquatic grasses.
One indicator that declined was total phosphorus, excess quantities of which can lead to algae blooms.
The numbers of striped bass held steady, blue crab and bay anchovy improved.
