The distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), principally rooted vascular macrophytes in Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and the coastal bays of the Delmarva Peninsula, was mapped from 1,987 black and white aerial photographs. These were taken between May and October 1998, at a scale of 1:24,000, encompassing 169 flight lines covering 2,290 miles of shoreline.

The distribution of submerged aquatic vegetation (SSV), principally rooted vascular macrophytes in the Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and the coastal bays of the Delmarva Peninsula, was mapped from 1,728 black and white aerial photographs. These were taken between May and October 1997, at a scale of 1:24,000, encompassing 141 flight lines covering 1,808 miles of shoreline.

Modern eutrophication modeling of the Chesapeake Bay commenced in 1987. Recently, refinements were made to the 1993 Chesapeake Bay Estuary Model Package (CBEMP) including increased grid resolution, inclusion of the continental shelf at the Bay mouth, direct simulation of living resources, and extension of the validation period. This paper addresses the refined phytoplankton kinetics.

Outlines standard operating procedures for conducting acute and chronic toxicity tests with Eurytemora.

This is the workshop proceedings held on December 14, 1998. Its purpose, as delineated on the agenda (see Appendix I) was to initiate a process to develop nutrient trading policies and guidelines to achieve and maintain the Nutrient Cap in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
