    Is the Water Level Rising or Are We Just Sinking?

    Headlines about Oysters, the James River award and the EPA getting sued over E. Coli.  How much of a role does the land sinking play in the sea level rising and why is the Bay going to be one of the worst affected areas.  Major Conclusions • Land subsidence and global sea-level rise combine to cause relative sea-level rise in the southern Chesapeake Bay region. • Land subsidence causes more than half of the observed relative sea-level rise. • Aquifer-system compaction causes more than half of the land subsidence. https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1392/pdf/circ1392.pdf http://www.geosociety.org/gsatoday/archive/25/8/pdf/i1052-5173-25-8-4.pdf https://augustafreepress.com/james-river-selected-as-2019-thiess-international-riverprize-winner/ https://www.bayjournal.com/article/court_rules_that_dcs_daily_e._coli_limit_is_inadequate https://www.mdsg.umd.edu/topics/coastal-flooding/rising-sea-level https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/environment/bs-md-oyster-harvest-limits-0917-20190917-a5745vhtmzgg5efiutncej4iwu-story.html https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sealevel.html
