Cool link of the day

After seeing the algae bloom photos, one of my sources alerted me to this great page from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. Their Integrated Application Network (a scientific term for the people that analzye the data and put it out there for the rest of us to understand) has an image library that's filled with all sorts of interesting pictures. There are aerial shots of the bay, images of environmental problems such a parking lots that go right up to the water's edge (hello, untreated stormwater runoff) and photos of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge's delicate marshes. if you register, you can download the images and use them as long as you give credit where credit was due. Good to know....
