Chesapeake Bay of Clams and Oysters
Chesapeake Bay of Clams and Oysters In the America's with David Yetman
The Chesapeake Bay is the largest bay on the Atlantic coast of the Americas, pivotal in the history of prehistoric, historic, and contemporary United States. Its tributaries drain a gigantic portion of the eastern U.S., including the Potomac River, home to Washington, D.C. Its fisheries have been depleted; its oyster and clam industries much reduced, and rising seas threaten its shores.
