A watershed – the land area that drains to one stream, lake or river – affects the water quality in the water body that it surrounds. Healthy watersheds provide many benefits to ecosystems: 💧 nutrient cycling 💧 erosion control 💧 water storage and filtration 💧 flood control

🦪🦪🦪 Oysters are ecosystem engineers that build reefs which oxygenate and filter water while also protecting shorelines from storm surges & erosion. They are one of the most important #HabitatHeroes in the #ChesapeakeBay's tidal areas! 📸@NOAA #ChesapeakeBayAwarenessWeek

Thanks for having us @ShoreRivers! Last year was a great year for the Choptank. The river received "B" grade for water quality & living resources. It also experienced “once in a generation” oyster spawning success & an increase in submerged aquatic vegetation. 📸: @ShoreRivers
