The Chesapeake Bay 1985 Annual Summary presents a synoptic view of the marine
and atmospheric conditions and the direct and indirect impacts of these conditions on the
Bay system. The environmental and human use relationships detailed in this reJX)rt indicate
the interdependent nature of economic activity and Ratural processes that coexist in the
Chesapeake Bay area.
This report uses data gathered by scientists in the fields of physical oceanography,
marine biology, meteorology, JX)litical science, and economics; it presents a
multidisciplinary view of the Chesapeake Bay area. Relationships within and between the
different economic sectors are presented in detail where possible. It is hoped that this
collection of data will stimulate further investigation by natural and social scientists
studying the Chesapeake Bay.
