Exploring
Maryland

Did you learn anything new? Sometimes people are surprised to know that, in most places, the Bay is not very deep. Someone very tall (like Michael Jordan!) could actually walk around in one-fifth of the Bay without ever having the water go over his head! Maybe that doesn't seem like such a big deal to you, but the shallowness of the water makes it easy for sunlight to get through to plants, fish, and other critters...which is a very big deal to them! Without that light, those things couldn't live!
