Chesapeake Bay

By: Ivo, Arnol, and Aykhan
The Chesapeake Bay—the largest estuary in the United States—has been shaped by both nature and people for centuries. Historically the Bay was famous for its rich oyster reefs, fish, and underwater grass that supports wildlife and local economies. Over time, however, human activities such as farming, city development, industrial discharge, and overharvesting changed the Bay’s water quality and habitats, setting the stage for long-term environmental problems that scientists and communities are still working to fix today.

Restoring the Bay

The Chesapeake Bay has been a foundation for human communities and natural systems for centuries, but centuries of development and environmental pressures have weakened it. Climate change and sea level rise threaten to amplify existing problems and impose new ones. But the Bay is not beyond repair. Understanding the challenges and contributing toward solutions can help preserve the Bay for future generations.

RC Delivery Planes: How this new type of technology can revolutionize the way we transport supplies

Delivery drones can significantly enhance the distribution of essential supplies to people in need, particularly in remote or disaster-stricken areas. These remotely controlled drones can quickly reach locations that are inaccessible or dangerous for traditional vehicles, including those affected by natural disasters, conflict, and poor infrastructure, making them a cost-effective solution for emergency response and humanitarian aid efforts.
