estuaries

Only 1 in 7 of England’s rivers, lakes and estuaries meet ecological standards. A charity stated that Environment Agency data suggests that the country's waters are considered among the filthiest in Europe.

The Chesapeake Bay, shaped by rivers, wildlife, watermen, farms, and communities, is explored in a documentary that examines its decline, challenges, and restoration efforts. The film combines science, history, and personal stories to highlight the estuary's importance and the work to preserve it.
