Climate change is affecting every aspect of the environment, from warming waters, to shifts in species ranges. With the Chesapeake Bay as one of the most rapidly-changing areas when it comes to climate change, we have the responsibility to take action!

Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Better understand the difference between weather and climate and how climate change works,
