Gerald Winegrad: Maryland’s indomitable furry rodent | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maryland has five squirrel species, none as abundant and commonly seen across the state and the entire eastern and central U.S. as the eastern gray squirrel. It is the most common wild mammal we observe, as it is active during the day and found in a great variety of woodland, parkland, suburban and urban habitats throughout Maryland — just about anywhere there are trees. This critter has adapted well to humans and their habitats, and many folks consider them their wild pets. Others see these ubi
Gerald Winegrad: Battle rages over mass slaughter of menhaden | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Annapolis last Tuesday evening, more than 60 participants weighed in at a charged public hearing over menhaden harvest. The event was the first of seven such hearings from Virginia to Maine by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission on proposals to either keep the status quo or cut the Chesapeake Bay Virginia menhaden reduction harvest by Omega Protein. Options include cutting the current 112 million pounds by up to 50%. The 15-state body was congressionally designated to regulate mig
Gerald Winegrad: Help save osprey chicks from starving | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your support is urgently needed for long-overdue major restrictions on the Virginia-based slaughter of tens of millions of individual menhaden a year. Thousands of osprey chicks in higher-salinity waters of bay country are dying slow, horrible deaths from starvation because of corporate greed decimating the ospreys’ major food supply — the Atlantic menhaden (also called alewife or bunker). These oily calorie- and protein-dense forage fish are the major food for adult and young ospreys in tidal b
Gerald Winegrad: A nightmare scenario for bay restoration | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is with profound and sad regret that I must report to you that formal efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay under the 42-year-old Chesapeake Bay Program have collapsed like a house of cards. After the first Bay Agreement to restore the bay in 1983 (which I witnessed as a state senator), a 1987 agreement pledged the states to reduce nutrients by 40% by 2000. The states failed to do so. In 2000, they agreed again to similar nutrient reductions and also to reduce sediment by a 2010 deadline. The
Gerald Winegrad: How to prevent Chesapeake Bay’s flesh-eating diseases | COMMENTARY (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week’s column, “The shocking tragedy of the Chesapeake Bay,” detailed the increasing prevalence of infections from bay water contact and eating raw seafood from the bay. Some of these infections can lead to death or amputation of limbs. Now comes Part II: what we can do individually to help prevent the poisoning of the Chesapeake. I cite the old adage from Leo Tolstoy: “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themself.” Fixing external systems feels much easier
