The lands and waters of the Mid-Atlantic Region (MAR) have changed
significantly since before the 16th century when the Susquehannock
lived in the area. Much has changed since Captain John Smith
penetrated the estuaries and rivers during the early 17th century;
since the surveying of the Mason-Dixon Line to settle border
disputes among Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware during the
middle of the 18th century; and since J. Thomas Scharf described
the physiographic setting of Baltimore County in the late 19th
century. As early as 1881, Scharf provides us with an assessment of
the condition of the aquatic ecosystems of the region, albeit in
narrative form, and already changes are taking place - the
conversion of forests to fields, the founding of towns and cities,
and the depletion of natural resources. We have always conducted
our work with the premise that "man" is part of, and not apart
from, this ecosystem and landscape. This premise, and the
historical changes in our landscape, provide the foundation for our
overarching research question: how do human activities impact the
functioning of aquatic ecosystems and the ecosystem services that
they provide, and how can we optimize this relationship?
