Melvin Mosley+FollowMaryland’s blue catfish problem could be dinnerBlue catfish are taking over Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, gobbling up blue crabs and threatening the local ecosystem—and the state’s beloved crab feasts. But here’s the twist: officials want everyone to help by eating more catfish! These invaders are surprisingly tasty, with mild, white flesh that’s perfect for frying or grilling. By putting blue catfish on our plates, we can support local fishermen, protect native species, and maybe even start a new food trend. Would you swap your usual seafood order for catfish if it helped the Bay? Let’s talk recipes and what this means for Maryland traditions! #Science #MarylandEats #ChesapeakeBay10Share
Heather Owens+FollowRemembering Jack Cover’s legacy at the AquariumJack Cover’s passion for the Chesapeake Bay shaped the National Aquarium into the hands-on conservation hub we know today. From his childhood in Hampden catching snakes to leading the creation of the Harbor Wetland exhibit, Jack inspired generations to see local wildlife differently. His curiosity and kindness left a mark not just on exhibits, but on everyone who worked with him. The Aquarium is setting up a conservation fund in his honor—seems like a fitting tribute for someone who dedicated his life to connecting people with nature. How has the Aquarium changed your view of the Bay? #Entertainment #NationalAquarium #ChesapeakeBay00Share
