Chesapeake Bay Magazine's Bay Bulletin - 2023
Photos and video from some of my reef monitoring work in the Potomac River were recently used in an article written by Cheryl Costello for the Chesapeake Bay Magazine's Bay Bulletin. The additional artificial reef material in the article is being added to the Chesapeake Bay to enhance bottom habitat for oysters, fish and other marine life. Link to article and video.

Sculpin are indicators of a healthy stream. I took this photo while stream snorkeling in the northern part of Gunpowder Falls on a very brisk February day.

Black sea bass are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they start life as females but some later transition to males. Males are either of the dominant or subordinate type. Dominant males have a bright blue nuccal hump and may aggressively defend groups of females during the spawning season. Subordinate males have little distinguishing features compared to females, which may help them contribute to spawning despite the aggressive behavior of dominant males. Black sea bass are also the poster child for marine species that may win big with climate change. Their abundance has greatly increased over the past few decades and their range has expanded into areas where they were once rare. They are highly sought after by both commercial and recreational fishermen. They are an example of both a fisheries management success story and the continuing challenges of balancing trade offs of quota allocations based on fish distribution or historic social/cultural aspects of fisheries.
