The book also recognizes for the first time, that efforts to restore the Bay have failed because of violation of a fundamental precept of environmental cleanup; that is, to sample the site and see what is there. The Bay itself has never been sampled. Thus this book presents a view of the environmental condition of Chesapeake Bay that is tota 606 $aMarine pollution$zChesapeake Bay (Md. and Va.) 606 $aOceanography$xResearch$zChesapeake Bay (Md. and Va.) 607 $aChesapeake Bay (Md. and Va.) 615 0$aMarine pollution 615 0$aOceanography$xResearch 676 $a639.544 700 $aAlbright$b Richard D$0916307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141573403321 996 $aDeath of the Chesapeake$92054214 997 $aUNINA
