Chesapeake Bay of Clams and Oysters
Season 5 Episode 507 | 26m 46s | CC
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.
