It sounds like you have a problem with a lack of aquatic vegetation.
That is what brings down the carbon numbers and boosts DO.
Have they got a handle on the waste oil that comes down the storm
drains and the sewer treatment plants yet? They said that used to coat
the bottom and stifle grass when I was up there. It may be old bad
problems finally catching up with you.
Until you get people to stop flushing oil down the toilet and start
processing street runoff, you are not going to have a clean bay.
I am really surprised they are not buying old oil for reprocessing.

Once this becomes a target for "scrappers" a lot of our waste oil
problems might go away.

The oil draining thorugh the storm sewers may not be solved yet but, they have painted
"Chesapeake Bay Drainage" on many storm sewer intakes. They haven't been keeping up witht
painting the words lately in Montgomery County.

The once perceived threat to the Chesapeake was the Hydrilla, which actaully turned out to be
a blessing for the bass fishing.
