A "landscape" approach is needed to assess ecological conditions over such a large area. Some of the most important aspects of environmental change occur at the broad spatial scale of whole landscapes, and these cannot always be detected in small-scale studies. Because landscape patterns and trends are the context for the condition of embedded ecosystems, such information has proven useful for both local and regional assessments.

The many streams and rivers that are part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed provide the freshwater that helps make the bay such a unique ecosystem. The brackish waters are home to lots of plants and animals that are a factor in keeping the bay healthy. However, the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay can also have negative effects on the health of the bay if the water they feed to the bay is polluted. Readers will learn about the interconnectedness of the bay watershed as well as the importance of this estuary’s tributaries. Including a map of the key rivers flowing into the Chesapeake Bay, the main content will engage readers with the conservation conversation surrounding the bay in addition to its geography. Vivid photographs and detailed sidebars will further draw readers into the growing region surrounding the Chesapeake Bay.

For centuries before the arrival of European settlers, the Chesapeake Bay's natural bounty and pristine beauty were self-sustaining. Today, after three centuries of human use and abuse, almost everyone agrees that the Bay is fragile and its future uncertain. As scientists work to understand the environmental threats and policy makers respond with new regulations, ordinary people are increasingly doing their part to ensure a healthier future for the Chesapeake. Saving the Bay gathers dozens of these stories and brings them forward as examples of how broadly the coalition to protect the Bay has grown and succeeded. Through engaging photographs by Richard A.K. Dorbin and moving first-person accounts compiled by Ann E. Dorbin, this book celebrates a new chapter in the history of the Bay, one in which people in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Delaware, West Virginia, and New York work hand in hand to shape the future of a beloved resource. From Americorps volunteer Julie Benintendi's work with shoreline restoration to Mike Ogburn's efforts to build a non-polluting electric car, from the mountainous outer reaches of the watershed to the mouth of the Bay, the people working for the Chesapeake are as diverse and dynamic as the resource itself. Here are teachers, engineers, writers, farmers, parents, and naturalists working with grit and imagination. Saving the Bay demonstrates how these unprecedented efforts throughout the Chesapeake Bay region are making a real difference toward creating a better future. "By bringing these stories to the forefront, we hope to educate readers, show that individual actions are critical, and accentuate positive rather than negativehuman impacts on the environment. Just as the wonder of the Bay is not reserved for experts or old-timers, neither is the work that lies ahead. Therein lies the premise of this project--that behind the reports and controversy over the human-induced decline of the Bay's health and the path of its future, are many people doing their part, in different and necessary ways, for the future of the watershed." -- from Saving the Bay
