While we are basking in lovely fall weather, the Bay is taking a beating. Courtesy of our recent storms.
Click here to see the total matter suspended in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays (before and after the storm comparisons).
And here to see plume of sediment and debris that was churned up and is still roiling in the Chesapeake Bay.
Reclamation of flood plains, increased permeable surfaces (which can absorb water on site), more trees and rain gardens, all can reduce storms' impacts when they come.
Not only that, they increase property value, decrease the need to repair, and are a treat for the eyes and spirit.
