Keeping Watch: The Chesapeake Bay Sentinel Site Cooperative
The Chesapeake Bay Sentinel Site Cooperative is a group of researchers, land managers, and government agencies who integrate science findings from local observations across the Chesapeake Bay region to improve planning and management decisions regarding sea level rise and ecological changes. For the past decade, members of the Cooperative have monitored marsh sites across the Chesapeake Bay region to track how marshes have withstood increased water levels. This presentation will share CBSSC findings and associated efforts to further understand and communicate these ecological trends.
Taryn Sudol coordinates the Chesapeake Bay Sentinel Site Cooperative as part of her role as Coastal Resilience Coordinator at Maryland Sea Grant. Since 2018, her work has focused on promoting a greater understanding of the ecological and social effects of sea level rise. She works with scientists, land managers, government agencies, community members and other stakeholders to plan for adaptation measures and actions.

Maryland Shark Attack of 1640
Переглядів 4321 день тому
Shark attacks on humans are rare, but they have taken up residence in our collective consciousness as a fear generator, bolstered by seminal Hollywood works such as the iconic Jaws franchise. This collective fear started building much earlier, maybe in 1916 when there was a series of deadly attacks in New Jersey, as chronicled in the book 12 Days of Terror by Richard Fernicola, a physician and ...

OK, where is the link to this fabled website that you invite us all to visit? An actual link would help.
Cleveland Museum of Natural History they hunt sharks i saw this on NBC
Awesome
Very interesting..Thanks.
Interesting content and good speaker. Enjoyed
Now I will became spider man thank you so much
I loved it - thanks!
Very interesting 🤔
snapping turtles would scavenge the dead people, I wouldn't think they'd dig through the cloth etc to get to the bodies.
🫀🦣🫀
I’m related to 20 of them. This gave a lot of details then most videos I’ve watched. Thank you! 🙏
I once saw a worm I've always wondered about. Context: I'm in Eastern Washington State, where we have hot dry summers and bitter cold winters. In the 1990s I had built a simple 12 x 16 foot pond with biological filter in my backyard. One summer afternoon I noticed a tiny transparent worm right at the waters edge, just under the water, moving a bit like an inch worm. It was about 3/4 of an inch long but would stretch out and contract as it moved, in addition to the inch worm motion. At one point the worm encountered a small pond snail which caused the worm to recoil and the snail to withdraw into its shell. Just as the snail seemed to relax and come out of its shell the little worm snapped forward, grabbing hold of the snail which pulled back into its shell, but apparently not fast or far enough because the little worm hollowed it out. Anyway, this program is the first time I've ever heard of worms that eat snails being talked about. I don't think the worm had segments, I'm pretty sure it didn't have any appendages but it was so small and transparent I didn't even notice a head, but it must have had some way of latching on to the body of the snail.
That sounds like a fascinating encounter.
Paul is the best! He has so much knowledge and it’s great to learn from him. Excavated with him this past summer.
He will be at the museum this Sunday - December 1 reading from and signing his book - selling too LOL. 10-3PM
Very informative video. Thank you for putting it together and sharing your knowledge. The world needs people like you to help preserve and promote such histories, so they’re not lost to time and forgotten about. Regarding the preservation of the petroglyphs, has anyone considered having them scanned by laser? I’ve seen documentaries where lasers were used to scan ancient rock art to make the glyphs more visible and allow more detail to be seen. I’m curious how many more details and information may be able to be gathered if laser scans were able to be completed. As for the Susquehanna Deeps, I know they were semi-explored before the dam was built. Has any exploration of the deeps been done in modern times? If I had the time and money, I would love to send an underwater drone to explore the depths. I imagine doing something like that would be both exhilarating and nerve-wracking at the same time. I would be in constant fear of the drone getting caught up in hidden logs, branches, and other debris that certainly inhabit the depths of the deeps. I’m also very interested in learning about and preserving the history of the Susquehanna River. I’ve actually been working on paddling and documenting the entire 444 miles of the north and main branches of the river for a few years now, though it has admittedly been a very slow go. Logistics and time seem to be the primary limiting factors. As such, and as many do nowadays, I have a UA-cam channel. My goal is to share the sights and sounds of the river as well as preserve its history for future generations. That being said, would you permit me to use clips from this video in my future videos? After having my channel up and running for a few years now I’ve amassed a whopping 221 subscribers. Fortunately, my goal is the transmission and preservation of knowledge and not to make money from it. If it was to make money, boy oh boy would I be in trouble! Before commenting here, I went and checked out the Natural History Society of Maryland page. It appears that there are lots and lots of opportunities to explore and learn! I will definitely be joining as a member and signing up for events, especially the canoe paddles! I was already anxious for warmer weather so I could get back out on the water, but after discovering the NHSM club and the opportunities being offered to get outside and learn, I am all that more anxious now. As for the many books referenced in the video, can you provide a list of them? I’d be interested in taking a closer look at them and possibly purchasing some if they’re still in publication. Speaking of purchasing them, are there any links available for those who may be interested in buying them? Thanks again for the very informative video. Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more from your channel!
Uuummm!!!
I can see your cursor. Gee, the Emydinae have been around even longer than the Platypus and Echidna.

Heck yeah 🤘
I'm from Springhill, Nova Scotia. We had much the same geology as we see here. They also have a Miner's Museum offering tours of an 1873 mine. You can even dig for coal; just watch out for the coal chips; the seam is still under compression.
Oh my goodness you help me so much on my science project because for over an hour I was trying to understand it but there was too much information. This helped me greatly THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for beautiful and informative lecture, from Ireland
