"chesapeake past chesapeake future" This episode of "Outdoors Maryland" focuses on the health of the Chesapeake Bay. The episode begins with a group of students learning about pollution, and the species of water life that live in the bay. Pollutants such as sediment and nitrogen flow in from rain on the streets, shopping plazas, farm lands, and streams and rivers. The growing population of people in Maryland means an increase in pollutants and sediment which will find its way into the bay, lowering the bay's health. There is a debate amongst the people whether or not they can make an impact on helping to restore the bay.
