Online Videos
Maryland Sea Grant produces online video shorts that address many of the same Chesapeake Bay issues as our long-form films. They tell their stories through the voices of those who live and work around the Bay — watermen, scientists, boat pilots, and teachers. We also have educational offerings, like step-by-step videos that show you how to install your own rain garden, or videos that train seafood workers how to handle food to minimize the potential for foodborne illness.

Documentary Films
Maryland Sea Grant documentaries bring marine science, policy, and other issues of concern to hundreds of thousands of people in the Chesapeake region. These award-winning films have been broadcast on public television, cable, and commercial stations, and have been shown for educational use to environmental organizations, citizen associations, and classroom teachers. DVDs of the documentaries may be purchased from our Bookstore. Trailers for our documentaries are available at these links:

Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
