Event Description: The Chesapeake Bay watershed encompasses 64,000 mi2 of land and the homes of over 18 million people; the unfortunate truth is that this population is an unwitting source of debris of all types in both local waters and the Bay. Whether we’re talking about plastic straws, disposable masks, fishing line, or derelict crab traps, tons of the stuff end up in the Chesapeake Bay each year. Where is it coming from, what are its impacts, and what can we do to tackle the debris problem?
