Aquatic invasive species pose an existential threat to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and ways of life associated with it such as crabbing and fishing. Through his lab at Salisbury University, Assistant Professor of Physiology Noah Bressman studies Blue Catfish and the Northern Snakehead to learn the best ways to manage their populations, while also supporting initiatives to encourage people to catch, kill, and or eat these invasive fish to try to keep their populations down.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics to the Van Lennep Auditorium.

Signed in 2014, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement established goals and outcomes for the restoration of the Bay, its tributaries and the lands that surround them. With many outcomes targeted for achievement by 2025, a group of Chesapeake leaders led by Martha Shimkin, Director of the Chesapeake Bay Program Office at the Environmental Protection Agency, and Anna Killius, Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, have worked to identify the future of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and what is next for the conservation efforts in the Chesapeake.
