Taking stock of the bay's health

It's one thing to talk about what's wrong with the Chesapeake Bay and why it's worth preserving, but it really helps to see what you're talking about. In this video, produced by What's Up, a lifestyle and entertainment magazine in Annapolis, Derek Rodgers, a graduate student studying environmental science at Towson University, shares some insights on the bay's values and its woes.

If anyone else has done videos about the bay or local environmental issues they'd like to share, please send us links.

Thanks for posting this, great video.

Here's a video of Environment Maryland's Bay Town Hall in Annapolis from August. It includes Chuck Fox, new bay "czar" at the EPA:

About the bloggers

Meredith Cohn has been a reporter for more than 18 years and has covered a variety of subjects, from airlines and agriculture to politics and health and fitness. She's gained an appreciation for the environment as a biker, runner and dog walker. She also hopes this blog means coworkers will stop staring when she carries home recyclables from the office.

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
