"One Big Dead Zone"

An article over at "Bay Action Plan"

“Unless we are very aggressive in the next few years, we could easily lose the Bay. It could be one big dead zone.” – Maryland State Senator Brian Frosh.

Despite decades of efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, rapid population growth has offset much of the progress. Some people are beginning to lose faith that a restored, healthy Bay is even possible. Sen. Brian Frosh explains in this exclusive Bay Action Play video:

Of course, it depends on your definition of "restored" is.  We will never achieve the Bay the John Smith saw.  That Bay is gone forever, likely never to return.  The ice caps will have to return before that Bay is ever seen again

Apocalyptic visions don't help.  No one seriously believes that the Bay will become one big dead zone if the these programs aren't carried out immediately, anymore than anyone really believes the seas will literally boil, or rise to cover the earth if the people continue to drive SUVs.  The boy crying wolf didn't help his cause.
