This book of more than 150 vibrant photographs and seven essays
depicts the natural history, human history, science, and culture of
the Delmarva Peninsula's largest river. Explore the Choptank
River-from its beginnings at upstream springs and farm ditches to
its broad estuary below Cambridge, Maryland-discover its
inhabitants, and learn about the impact of human activity on the
natural environment. Generations of watermen and farmers, oystermen
and oyster shuckers, crabbers and crab pickers, commercial
fishermen, and a "turkler" are just a few of the folks you'll
become acquainted with. Additionally, retired biologist and aquatic
scientist Nick Carter, water quality scientist Tom Fisher, and
oyster captain Wade Murphy offer tales of wonder and sacrifice
while also warning us of the consequences of overpopulation and
wasteful habits. Learn how we can restore the river, reduce
pollution, conserve food and fuel, and protect this special place
for all of time.
