The main symptoms of decline in the Chesapeake Bay include significant water pollution, leading to hypoxia (low oxygen levels) that harms aquatic life. There is also a noticeable decrease in vital habitats, such as seagrass beds and wetlands, which support biodiversity. Additionally, the bay has experienced overfishing and the decline of key species like blue crabs and oysters, exacerbating ecological imbalances. These factors collectively threaten the health of the bay’s ecosystem and its economic viability.
