Saving Chesapeake Bay’s Vanishing Wetlands

The Chesapeake Bay loses a football field of wetlands every single day, yet most people

have no idea these disappearing marshes are the nurseries where 75 percent of the fish we eat

begin their lives. These tidal wetlands in Maryland and Virginia filter millions of gallons

of polluted water naturally, doing the work of expensive treatment plants for free.

But here's what nobody tells you: when we lose these marshes, we don't just lose

pretty scenery. We lose our seafood industry, our storm protection, and our heritage

as watermen. The question isn't whether we can afford to save them. It's whether we

can afford not to. Join us at River Realm Life to explore our Bay's treasures.
