Chesapeake Bay Health Edges Up to C Grade in Report Card

Seven out of 15 regions showed significantly improving health trends, the report said. Dissolved oxygen and total nitrogen scores improved, while chlorophyll a and total phosphorus scores declined. Water clarity, benthic community organisms in the bottom of the bay and aquatic grass scores decreased slightly. Because of the pandemic, UMCES said there was a monitoring gap from March to May. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ecosystem health of the bay are not yet known, besides a reduction in atmospheric nitrogen, which has a declining trend, continued by reduced travel during 2020. The overall grade for the Chesapeake watershed was a B-minus for 2020. That s the same as it was in 2019, which was the first year UMCES included a separate grade for the overall watershed, which includes the six states of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, as well as the District of Columbia.
