The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in Northern America. Its waters provide food and habitat for an abundance of fish and wildlife. It serves as a highway for commerce, a playground for the public, a storehouse of food, and a home for over 13 million people who live in its vast watershed. But in recent years the Chesapeake had become less able to support the fish and wildlife it once did.
