The Chesapeake Bay

William Thomas

Open full text 12 citations

Abstract

The Chesapeake Bay and the big rivers that feed into it are part of a much larger watershed encompassing six states and hundreds of counties. The Bay's ecology has suffered, prompting the states that surround it to develop a regional compact to protect it. The Bay's history as a resource and a network for trade extend historically to Powhatan Society, and regional settlement patterns over hundreds of years.
