The Chesapeake Bay is important to the environment and a part of our economy. Many fish migrate to the bay to feed and mate. Fishermen use the fish as bait and catch them to sell for food. Also the rivers that flow through the surrounding states are used to dump unwanted waste that quickly leads in the watershed. Over the last 50 years we have been trying to use more of the renewable resources like water by building dams in the rivers leading to the Chesapeake Bay. We have also been using solar energy by setting up solar panels, unlike oil, coal, and other fossil fuels that will not come back in this life time. Unfortunately the dams that are built in the rivers block migrating fish from coming to the Chesapeake Bay to mate or eat, and the dumping animal waste in the rivers are increasing the growth of algae clouding the surface of the water cutting off the sunlight this then kills the plants sitting at the bottom. When the plants on the bottom die the fish that relies on the plant for food, a solution to this are Wild life groups creating ‘Fish Ladders‘ to let the passing fish go by. Another problem is when people dump toxins in to the water, the toxins pollute and poison the water the fish, plants and animals drink or breath, a solution to this are banning the worst of the chemicals for being used and limiting industry’s runoff in the bay. Humans have to be careful to not over fish or over pollute in the Chesapeake Bay, the delicate balance of predator and prey can easily be tipped and if one species becomes extinct then the predators of that animal will die of starvation. The main relationship between these problems are in my opinion is ignorance to our environment and animals. We didn’t find out how bad the Chesapeake Bay was in till the decline in fish the fishermen were catching, or in other words we didn’t notice in till it affected us.…
