The USGS monitors the Narraguagus River at Cherryfield, Maine at a location called Cable Pool. This spot was once renowned for Atlantic salmon, where anglers would line the banks, waiting their turn to cast a line into the water.

This seven- to eight-week-old osprey fledgling was photographed in a nest at Poplar Island, Maryland. The island in Chesapeake Bay was used as a control site, where toxic chemical residues were low, in a USGS study of chemical contaminants in Bay ospreys’ food chain.

Estimating volume of water discharged from fish sampling locations within mangrove forests is necessary to derive fish density estimates per volume.  Fish density was found to be greater in waters draining natural tidal forests than in waters from mudflats formed as a result of landfall of a Category 5 hurricane on Cape Sable, Everglades National Park in 1935.&
