and this is what WAS in that water ->

just a reminder for everybody!! :)

Environmental Issues

The variety of life on Earth, its biological diversity, is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. In some way or form, almost all cultures have recognized the importance of nature and its biological diversity for their societies and have therefore understood the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance.

Watershed

Do you know what the the Chesapeake WATERSHED is?? Here are some facts!!

• ridge of land that separates two adjacent river systems
• It holds a special water called brackish water(fresh water+salt water = Brackish water)
• Home to MANY animals(Maryland Blue Crab)

Here are some facts about the animals

Dozens of species of crabs and shellfish live in the Chesapeake Bay's waters, wetlands and shorelines. Some, like oysters and blue crabs, are well-known and easy to recognize. Others, such as amphipods and isopods, are not quite as familiar to most of us, but are abundant members of the Bay community. All crabs and shellfish are invertebrates, meaning they do not have a backbone.

Wetlands are transitional areas between land and water. While some wetlands are noticeably wet, others do not always have visible water. An area is defined as a wetland based on its soils and vegetation.

About 350 species of fish are known to live in the Chesapeake Bay. Some fish species are year-round residents, while others swim into the Bay from the ocean or freshwater rivers during various times of the year to feed, reproduce or find shelter.

The birds that live in the Chesapeake Bay's forests, wetlands and shorelines are some of the region's most beautiful — but vulnerable — species. While each bird has distinct behaviors and habitat needs, all are intricately entwined with the Bay's ecosystem and perform a different ecological function.

Think about all these animals next time when you throw your milk jug into the trash...
