But while oysters have arrived as an aquaculture species, and clams now grow in the coastal bays, Maryland no longer has any finfish farms. Its lone shrimp farm departed for warmer pastures. That could change soon. Chesapeake Quarterly explores scientific, environmental, and cultural issues relevant to the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.

A core mission for Maryland Sea Grant is preparing students to succeed in science. The U.S. ranks 24th in science education out of 71 nations analyzed in the latest survey. And roughly 40 percent of American undergraduates who try to major in science or engineering switch majors or fail to graduate. To address this national need Maryland Sea Grant develops innovative approaches to improving science education from middle school through graduate school.
