the Chesapeake Bay. The Maryland Sea Grant College has produced a series of
videos and fact sheets entitled "Exotics in the Chesapeake."
Videos (On-line

an introduction to the issue of exotic marine species, with a focus on the
ballast water of large ships (30 minutes).
2. Alien Estuary - a focus on
the Chesapeake Bay and efforts to understand exotic invasions in the estuary (12
minutes).
3. Alien River - a brief
description of how boaters can help prevent transporting exotic species, such as
the zebra mussel (9 minutes).
