Estuaries like Chesapeake Bay could contribute more to global warming than once thought
Estuaries and coastal systems are thought to be a relatively small source of atmospheric methane, as little as 3 percent. However, a new study has found that the methane building up in the Chesapeake Bay alone, if released, would be equal to the current estimates for all the estuaries in the world combined. Ref.

Chesapeake Bay pollution extends to early 19th century

Century of data shows sea-level rise shifting tides in Delaware, Chesapeake bays. The warming climate is expected to affect coastal regions worldwide as glaciers and ice sheets melt, raising sea level globally. For the first time, an international team has found evidence of how sea-level rise already is affecting high and low tides in both the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, two large estuaries of the eastern United States.
