The Chesapeake Bay was traditionally celebrated for its aquatic bounty, but over the centuries, fishers and hunters–supported by an extensive infrastructure of boats, gear, and processing facilities–overexploited the region’s fish, crustaceans, terrapin, and waterfowl, squandering a profound resource. On Thursday, Nov. 6, in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum's Van Lennep Auditorium, Dr. Vic Kennedy, Emeritus Professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, will explore the history of Chesapeake Bay fisheries, through an unparalleled collection of scientific resources and eyewitness reports by colonists, fishers, managers, scientists, and newspaper reporters to create a comprehensive examination of the Chesapeake’s environmental history.This event is generously sponsored by the Upper Shore Regional Folklife Center.
