Marine Biology- Restoring Chesapeake Bay

For the past 60 years, efforts have been made to reduce the flow of fertilizers, animal waste, and other pollutants through the water into Chesapeake Bay and they seem to be paying off. In the 1980s there were dead zones forming in the bay, where no kind of life, plant or animal, could live. The bay is an area where fresh and salt water mix, an estuary.Without these conservation efforts, the bay's dead zones may have been way worse at this time.
