We have a negative impact on the Bay, but we can make it positive.
Negative:
- Building new homes will lead to runoff and soil erosion increasing
- Too many pollutants and erosion will block sunlight from reaching the plants
- Chemicals we use will flow into the Bay, killing the plants
- The decreased amount of underwater grasses will effect the ecosystem
- Follow speed limits when boating
- Don't disturb the grass beds
- Limit the usage of cars because it contributes to global warming
- Limit the amount of fertilizers used on lawns
