Default Chesapeake Bay Area

Common dolphins are common in the bay below the mouth of the
Rappahannock River., sometimes as far north as the mouth of the
Potomac.
Never seen nor heard of a harbor porpoise in the bay.

This might be a stretch, but I am heading out to the east coast this
week and will be in Chevy Chase, Maryland. How is the shore and all
the boats after the storm?
Does any one know about what dolphins you see while you are boating in
this area? Do you know what species of Dolphins you have along your
coast?

How about Porpoises? Are there any Harbor Porpoises? The Harbor
Porpoises was in the Chesapeak Bay a few decades ago, before it became
polluted. I have heard, that with all the clean up effort, a few
Harbor Porpoises have returned?

Does anybody have recent experiences?

Thanks,
