Stay tuned! #News #ChesapeakeBay #FishingNews00Share
Melanie James+FollowFlesh-Eating Bacteria at the Bay?!A local man nearly lost his leg after a tiny cut from a fish trap at an Annapolis pier turned into a full-blown flesh-eating bacteria nightmare. It happened so fast—one day it was a small cut, the next, doctors were fighting to save his leg. Turns out, Aeromonas hydrophila (a nasty, antibiotic-resistant bacteria) is lurking in the Chesapeake Bay, especially after hot, rainy weather.

Melvin Mosley+FollowOysters Are Making a Comeback!Chesapeake Bay oysters are having a major glow-up after years of decline! Thanks to conservation efforts and better conditions, these little filter-feeders are thriving again, cleaning up the water and supporting tons of other sea life.
