Shad Abundance (2015)
American shad were once the most abundant and economically important species in the Chesapeake Bay. Shad are anadromous fish and spend most of their lives in the ocean, returning to freshwater rivers to spawn after they reach maturity. Data for the York, Potomac, Rappahannock and lower James Rivers were provided by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science via an ongoing Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) study involving American Shad gill-netting. Data for the Susquehanna and upper James Rivers represent published fishway passage values for Conowingo and Boshers Dams, respectively.

Long-Term Trends for Secchi Disc Depth in the Chesapeake Bay: 1999-2013
Long-term trends were computed by state partners using the Seasonal Kendall non-parametric technique for annual data collected from 1999-2013. Highly significant trends are indicated with triangles and possible trends are show with colored circles. Secchi Disk Depth observations (a measure of water clarity) are increasing/improving significantly at 2 stations, possibly increasing at 2 stations, decreasing/degrading significantly at 28 stations, and possibly decreasing at 14 stations.
