Chesapeake Bay Environmental Analysis

In the fraction of comic time humans have existed, humanity has burned a trail of destructive impact on Earth. Humans have reached a point where environment manipulation is become more of a want than a need, and due to this fact other species on earth suffer. In the past one-hundred years, humanity has caused the extinction of hundreds of other species on earth, and humanity might just add its own name to the list as environments are violently manipulated. These changes to the environment is seen in Chesapeake Bay, where human activity has place the bay and the species living there is grave danger, and there must be an effort to halt further harm. Human activity, such as development and pollution, affect the Bay’s health. First development

Stories are told about species that can adapt to the world around them at a surprising rate, but not all species can adapt that quickly to sudden changes in the environment. This is important to keep in mind when dealing with dense habitats, in fact several species of animals have gone extinct in the Chesapeake Bay area. If the Bay’s health goes unrestored, then diversity of species will dramatically decrease. In source four, the chart shows the number of Blue Crabs in the Chesapeake Bay through the years 1990-2013, and the data is astonishing. It is seen that as time moves on the number of crabs are in substantial fluctuation as from 1991 to 1993 the number of crabs went from around eight hundred in 1991, down to three hundred the following year, and up to around eight hundred and fifty in 1993. This data shows that the Bay's health was in sudden extremes of health. However the concerning data is from the years 1999 to 2010, when the number of Blue Crabs in the Chesapeake Bay is below the average. For a decade the health of the Bay was obviously substandard. The importance of having the Chesapeake Bay in good health is the survival of all species, not just the survival of
