Climate Change and the Chesapeake Bay.  (The Conservation Fund)
The Chesapeake Bay region is one of the most vulnerable areas in the nation to sea level rise induced by climate change. The effects of sea level rise and periodic storm surge include shoreline erosion, coastal flooding, salt water intrusion of freshwater resources, and inundation of some coastal areas. The watershed has more than 11,600 miles of coastline along the main bay and tidal tributaries, with many historic and natural areas at risk of permanent or periodic inundation from sea level rise and storm surge.
