Plastic pollution is something that is drastically changing our ecosystems. With more trash thrown into bodies of water every day‚ it’s said that “plastics in the ocean will outweigh fish pound for pound in 2050” (“How”).

Also known as "beautiful swimmer‚" the blue crab is one of the more resilient of Chesapeake species‚ but its fate depends on many factors. With the drastic decline of the Bay’s oysters‚ watermen began extending their crabbing efforts much later into the fall‚ the time they would normally have shifted to oystering.
