Wicomico River News

An Environmental report released by the 2008 Chesapeake Bay Foundation Wicomico River Creekwatchers says poor water clarity, high nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the Wicomico River contribute to unhealthy conditions which lead to low dissolved oxygen levels, a high concentration of algae blooms and dead zones. The report shows 84 percent of the 25 water quality testing sites categorized in the moderate to severe problem range for nitrogen pollution, which is 4 percent higher than 2007 results.
