Help Support Maryland Sea Grant
Since 1977, the Maryland Sea Grant College has supported research, education, and outreach about the challenges and opportunities facing Maryland's coastal waters, and especially the Chesapeake Bay.
To stay ahead of the problems that face us in managing and restoring our watersheds and coastal natural resources, Maryland and the nation need innovative research, broad science literacy, and the best training possible for the next generation of marine scientists, managers, and teachers.
Maryland Sea Grant plays a special role in supporting researchers and graduate students and in interpreting marine science and policy for a broad audience. Our signature magazine, Chesapeake Quarterly, and our video documentaries are award-winning. We are committed to a continued standard of excellence.
Please consider supporting our work by making a financial contribution to the University System of Maryland Foundation Inc. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your contribution may be tax deductible. Maryland Sea Grant, which is part of the university system, will receive the full amount of your donation.
Maryland Sea Grant greatly appreciates any contribution to our efforts. Thank you.

Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
