This grant, offered by the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office, is dedicated to supporting a comprehensive nutrient limitation assessment within the Chesapeake Bay’s tidal waters. The primary purpose is to identify and quantify the specific limiting nutrients, namely nitrogen and phosphorus, that impact water quality in this vital ecosystem. The selected recipient will be responsible for meticulously collecting and analyzing tidal water samples from the surface waters of the mainstem Chesapeake Bay and its key tributaries. This critical two-year study aims to provide invaluable data on nutrient dynamics, which is essential for developing effective strategies to improve the ecological health and resilience of the Bay. The findings will directly inform conservation efforts, ensuring the long-term sustainability of this significant natural resource.
