“The Chesapeake Bay Environmental Forecasting System and the Chesapeake Bay Operational Forecasting System provide real-time and forecast information to identify changing conditions that affect our recreational and commercial fisheries. Monitoring environmental conditions in the Chesapeake Bay is critical to our oyster and clam aquaculture industries, our world-renowned blue crab fishery, and commercial & recreational fisheries.” – Will Bransom, President of Norfolk Angler Club
