A professional and comprehensive presentation on Chesapeake Bay water quality is in store for your ecology class. If you live in the Chesapeake Bay region and want to get learners involved in conservation efforts, this slide show will do the trick. It educates viewers about nutrient runoff and sources of pollution, how to determine water quality, and the impact on local wildlife. The latter part of the presentation actually lays out a timeline for a restoration program begun in 2003.
