Chesapeake Bay
The United States' largest estuary, a drowned valley of the Susquehanna River. The Chesapeake Bay is a grand highway - a highway for migratory fish and fowl, a highway for transportation and commerce, and a highway of our Nation's history. It is also home to indigenous marine species, watermen, farmers, military, and folks who love the quiet beauty of the Bay.
