Bay & Environment: Ship graveyard - Chesapeake Bay, blue crabs, Maryland, global warming and climate change

TUGBOAT WRECK IN CURTIS BAY

I had an essay about Baltimore's secret ship graveyard on the radio today as part of my regular "Environment in Focus" program on WYPR. I've also written in The Sun about the wrecks in Curtis Bay and the Patapsco River, and how many have become thriving habitats for birds and fish. Some of this weird landscape is now being cleaned up as the state builds a new marine terminal and public park.

A few listeners to today's radio program wanted to see photos of what I described. So for those interested, here are some pictures taken by The Sun's Jerry Jackson.

Rona Kobell reports on the Chesapeake Bay, and in her seven years with The Sun, she's visited clam farms in Virginia, a peeler pen on Taylors Island and a small market on Smith Island that serves what many people consider the best crab cake in the world (to judge for yourself, head to the Drum Point Market in Tylerton). Rona enjoys hanging out with her husband and daughter.

Tom Pelton writes about the environment and has been at The Sun for 10 years. He lives in the city with his wife, two daughters, and an exotic ecosystem that involves a cat, hamsters, hermit crabs, cacti, running shoes, drums, guitar, violins, mild cheeses and strong opinions.
