Microplastics from the Corsica River are pictured at the laboratory of Dr. Lance Yonkos in the Department of Environmental Science & Technology at the University of Maryland in College Park, Md., on Feb. 6, 2015. Microplastics were collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association Marine Debris Program in 2011 via a manta trawl in four tributaries feeding into the Chesapeake Bay. A study led by Yonkos reports that the prevalence of microplastics in the watershed is positively correlated with population density and proportion of development.

Volunteers plant a newly-constructed rain garden, including roughly 25 native trees, at St. Martin's Lutheran Church School in Annapolis, Md., on November 7, 2009. "The largest part of the [pollution] problem is coming off of private property. And we as volunteers can go into another volunteer organization like a church and we can find a lot of resources and a lot of people to help," said Mel Wilkins of Spa Creek Conservancy, which collaborated with Betty Knupp and members of the St. Martin's Garden Club.

Baltimore's Inner Harbor is seen at the far left at the end of the northwest branch of the Patapsco River, which receives water from the mouth of Jones Falls, on June 27, 2016. The Inner Harbor and tidal Patapsco River have received failing water quality grades for years according to a report card published by the Healthy Harbor Initiative for the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. Fecal bacteria reaches the water through the city's outdated and leaky sewage system, and pollutants enter with stormwater runoff.
