The Chesapeake Bay watershed, a vast estuary that covers nearly 4,500 square miles, historically provided rich resources for plants and wildlife. Now, the bay and its connected waterbodies and the wildlife they support face threats of excess nutrients, sea level rise, climate change and other challenges. In the Sept/Oct issue of The Wildlife Professional, we explore how wildlife biologists are working to combat these changes and provide healthy ecosystems for species from black rails to northern diamondback terrapins.

Other articles dive into the legacy of Aldo Leopold’s “The Sand County Almanac” on its 75th anniversary, how one wildlifer developed her own wildlife biology major, how being a part of a working group can support you in your career path, and more.
