SAV bed perimeter information was digitized and stored in a computerized data base. Ground truth information was obtained from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Maryland Horn Point Environmental laboratories, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Harford Community College, Essex Community College SAV Research Group of Baltimore County, National Park Service, Assateague Island, and the College of William and MaryNirginia Institute of Marine Science/School of Marine Science. Citizen support via the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Chesapeake Bay Foundation provided additional ground truth information. In 1991, the Chesapeake Bay had 25,623 hectares of SAV, compared to 24,296 hectares in 1990, with 2,158 hectares (8.4%), 11,664 hectares (45.5%), and 11,802 hectares (46.1%) occurring in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Bay zones, respectively (Figs. 1, 2, and 3). In 1991 seventy-eight percent (1,684 hectares) of the SAV within the Upper Bay zone was located in the Susquehanna Flats (Section 1). Eight species of S" were documented by ground truth surveys in this section, with Myriophyllum spicatum being dominant. A recently introduced exotic species, Hydrilla verticillata, was found in the Flats but occurred in small isolated beds. Overall abundance of S" declined from the 1990 (1,773 hectares) level, but the density of beds increased slightly from 1990. Eighty-nine percent of all SAV beds in the Flats were classified as very sparse (0-10% coverage), and 7% of beds were classified as dense (70-100% coverage). This is a slight improvement over 1990 coverage when 92% were very sparse and 5% of beds were classified as dense. In the Upper Eastern Shore (Section 2) there were 326 hectares of SAV (95 hectares less than in 1990) located principally in the Elk and lower Sassafras rivers, and Swan, Stillpond, and Churn creeks, with many of the same species as reported in the Susquehanna Flats section. The Upper Western Shore (Section 3) had 91 hectares of SAV, primarily M. spicatum and Vallisneria americana, concentrated in Saltpeter and Dundee creeks. This is similar to 1990 when there were 90.47 hectares. In the Chester River (Section 4) SAV abundance (57 hectares) was down 10 hectares from 1990. SAV was most abundant adjacent to Eastern Neck, Eastern Neck Island, and in the lower Chester River. In this region Ruppia maritima was the most abundant of seven species reported. In 1991 forty-nine percent (5,707 hectares) of the S" in the Middle Bay zone was found in the Mid-Bay Island Complex (Section 13) which includes the broad shoal area between Smith and Tangier Islands. This is an increase of 310 hectares over 1990. The two dominant species were R. maritima and Zostera marina. Nineteen percent (2,178 hectares) of the SAV in this zone was present in the Middle Eastern Shore (Section 12), primarily in the Barren Island-Honga River area, the Big and Little Annemessex rivers, and the lower section of the Manokin River, with R. maritima being the dominant species reported.

Iz xi or no SAV was mapped or reported from the Central Western Shore (Section 5), Patuxent River (Section 8), and Middle Western Shore (Section 9). The hfiddle Bay zone also includes the entire Potomac River, where 3,597 hectares of SAV were present in 1991. SAV was concentrated in two distinct regions: 1) the Upper Potomac River (Section 11) with 3,016 hectares, where Hydrilla verticillata remained the numerically dominant species (nine other species were reported by the COG, VIMS, and Citizen's surveys); and 2) the upper portion of the Lower Potomac River (Section 10) with 581 hectares, including Nanjemoy Creek and Port Tobacco River, with V americana and M. spicaturn being the most frequently reported species. The total abundance of SAV in the Upper Potomac section increased from 1990 by 493 hectares. It increased in the Lower Potomac section by 49 hectares. SAV continued to decline in the Eastern Bay and Choptank River sections. SAV in the Eastern Bay (Section 6) decreased 321 hectares from 1990 to a total of 68 hectares in 1991, while in the Choptank River (Section 7) it declined 79 hectares from 1990 to a total of 114 hectares in 1991. Distribution and abundance in 1991 in the Lower Bay zone were similar to 1990. Forty-eight percent (5,720 hectares) of SAV in this zone was found in the Lower Eastern Shore (Section 14) around the Fox Islands and the mouths of major creeks (i.e. Cherrystone Inlet and Hungars, Mattawoman, Occahannock, Craddock, Pungoteague, and Onancock creeks). Along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, SAV was abundant in Mobjack Bay (Section 18) (15% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone), in the lower York River (Section 19) (7% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone), and in the Lower Western Shore (Section 20), specifically Back River and Drum Island Flats area adjacent to Plum Tree Island (17% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone). There were 635 hectares of SAV mapped in the Reedville Region (Section 15) in 1991, a 4% increase over 1990. There were 339 hectares of SAV identified in 1991 in the New Point Comfort Region (Section 17) compared to 357 hectares in 1990. Both R. maritima and Z. marina were abundant throughout this zone. SAV abundance was down 7% from 1990 in both the Piankatank and Rappahannock rivers (Section 16). Ruppia maritima was the dominant species in those rivers, with Zostera marina also present as a result of previously successful transplant efforts. The James River (Section 21) had less than 3 hectares of SAV in 1991, which is the same as in 1990. SAV in the Chincoteague Bay section increased in distribution from 1990 with 2,746 hectares mapped in 1991. SAV in Chincoteague Bay and Sinepuxent Bay consisted of R. maritima and Z. marina, and was located along the eastern side of the bay behind Assateague Island. Assawoman Bay contained only R. maritima while only Z. marina was reported from Isle of Wight Bay. xii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to gratefully acknowledge all federal and state agencies who financially supported this project: the U.

Although outside the scope of this study, the algal component does constitute a portion of the SAV biomass in the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. For instance, benthic marine algae, including many macrophytes, sometimes co-occur in the same beds with vascular plants, even as epiphytes on vascular plants (Humm, 1979). However, except for the Characeae, this study has not attempted to identify, delineate or discuss the algal component of the vegetation nor its relative importance in the flora. Ten species of submerged aquatic vegetation exclusive of the algae are commonly found in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Zostera marina (eelgrass) is dominant in the lower reaches of the bay. Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian watermilfbil), Potamogeton pectinatus (sago pondweed), Potamogeton perfoliatus (redhead grass), Zannichenia palustris (horned pondweed), Vallisneria americana (wild celery), Elodea canadensis (common elodea), Ceratophyllum demersum (coontail) and Nqjas guadalupensis (southern naiad) are less tolerant of high salinities and are found in the middle and upper reaches of the bay (Stevenson and Confer, 1978; Orth et al., 1979; Orth and Moore, 1981, 1983). Ruppia maritima (widgeon grass) is tolerant of a wide range of salinities and is found from the bay mouth to the Susquehanna Flats. Approximately twelve other species are only occasionally found and, when present, occur primarily in the middle and upper reaches of the bay and the tidal rivers (Appendix A). Hydrilla verticillata (hydrilla), a recently introduced species, presently dominates SAV beds in the tidal freshwater reaches of the Potomac River. It has also been reported again in 1991 in the Susquehanna Flats where its growth has not been as widespread as in the Potomac River (Kollar, pers. comm.). Zostera marina and Ruppia maritima are the dominant species reported from Chincoteague Bay. METHODS introduction Black and white aerial photography at a scale of 1:24,000 was the principal source of information used to assess the distribution and abundance of SAV in the Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and Chincoteague Bay in 1991. SAV beds mapped from photographs onto USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles were then digitized, providing a digital data base for analysis of bed area and location. Ground truth information collected in 1991 was mapped onto the same topographic quadrangles. Aerial Photography The 1991 SAV photography was obtained by Air Photographics (Martinsburg, West Virginia) using a Wild RC-20 camera, with a 153 mm (6 inch) focal length Aviogon lens, and Agfa Pan 200 film. The camera was mounted in the bottom fuselage of the Air Photographics' Piper Aztec, a twin engine reconnaissance aircraft. Photography was acquired at approximately 12,000 feet altitude, yielding a 1:24,000 photographic scale. Flight lines for photography, which were drawn on 1:250,000 scale USGS maps, were predetermined by Air Photographics to include all areas known to have SAV, as well as those areas which could potentially have SAV (i.e. all areas where water depths were less than 2 in at mean low water). There were 141 flight lines covering approximately 1800 miles of shoreline and yielding 1527 photographs. Flight lines also included land features that are necessary as control points for accurate mapping (Fig. 4). Sections of the upper Rappahannock, upper York, and most of the James rivers were not flown because of the continued absence of SAV in these areas. Flight lines were prioritized by major sections. Flights were timed to occur at peak standing crop of species known to occur in the sections. In addition, specific areas with significant coverage were given priority. Prior approval by the VIMS staff was required to extend dates of flight windows if necessary. Actual dates of acquisition of photography are noted on each quadrangle map in Appendix C. General guidelines for mission planning and execution (Table 1) address tidal stage, plant growth, sun elevation, water and atmospheric transparency, turbidity, wind, sensor operation, and plotting. Adherence to these guidelines assured acquisition of photography under nearly optimal conditions for detection of SAV, thus insuring accurate photo interpretation. Quality assurance and calibration procedures were consistently followed. The altimeter was calibrated by the Federal Aviation Administration annually.

Map of Chesapeake Bay, its tributaries, and Chincoteague Bay with approximate locations of flight lines for 1991 SAV photography. 3 Table I Guidelines Followed During Acquisition of Aerial Photographs. 1. Tidal Stage - Photography was acquired at low tide, +/- 0-1.5 ft., as predicted by the National Ocean Survey tables. 2. Plant Growth - Imagery was acquired when growth stages ensured maximum delineation of SAV, and when phenologic stage overlap was greatest. 3. Sun Angle - Photography was acquired when surfac *e reflection from sun glint did not cover more than 30 percent of frame. Sun angle was generally between 20' and 400 to minimize water surface glitter. At least 60 percent line overlap and 20 percent side lap was used to minimize image degradation due to sun glint. 4. Turbidity - Photography was acquired when clarity of water ensured complete delineation of grass beds. This was visually determined from the airplane to insure that SAV could be seen by the observer. 5. Wind - Photography was acquired during periods of no or low wind. Off-shore winds were preferred over on-shore winds when wind conditions could not be avoided. 6. Atmospherics - Photography was acquired during periods of no or low haze and/or clouds below aircraft. There could be no more than scattered or thin broken clouds, or thin overcast above aircraft, to ensure maximum SAV to bottom contrast. 7. Sensor Operation - Photography was acquired in the vertical mode with less than 5 degrees tilt. Scale/altitude/filmifocal length combination permitted resolution and identification of one square meter area of SAV (at the surface). 8. Plotting - Each flight line included sufficient identifiable land area to assure accurate plotting of grass beds. 4 automatic exposure control. Sun angle was measured with an indicator on the plane. Flight lines were plotted on 1:250,000 scale maps to allow for overlap of photography. To minimize image degradation due to sun glint, the camera was equipped with a computer controlled intervalometer which established 60% line overlap and 20% sidelap. An automatic bubble level held the camera to within one degree tilt. The sWe/altitudelfilm/focal length combination was coordinated so that SAV patches of one square meter could be resolved. Wind speed was monitored hourly from the flight service available in the region. Under normal operating conditions, flights were usually conducted under wind speeds less than 10 mph. (Above this, wind generated waves stir the bottom sediments which can easily obscure SAV beds in less than one hour.) Pilot experience determined what acceptable level of turbidity would ensure complete delineation of SAV beds. At low tide the pilot should have been able to distinguish bottom features such as SAV or algae. When turbid conditions prevailed photography did not commence. Determination of cloud cover was based on pilot experience. Records of this parameter were kept in a flight notebook. Every attempt was made to acquire photographs with no cloud cover below 12,000 feet. Cloud cover did not exceed 5% of the area covered by the camera frame. A thin haze layer above 12,000 feet was generally acceptable. Experience has shown that the optimal conditions given above generally occur two to three days following passage of a cold front when winds have shifted from north-northwest to south and have moderated to less than 10 mph. Where possible, and within the guidelines given for prioritizing and executing the photography, flights were planned to coincide with these atmospheric conditions. Exposed film was processed by Air Photographics. A contact print was produced for each exposed frame. Each photograph was labeled with date of acquisition as well as flight line number. Film and photographs were stored under appropriate environmental conditions to prevent degradation. Mapping Process This study utilized 176 USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps as a basis for mapping SAV beds from aerial photography, for digitizing the SAV beds, and for compiling SAV bed area measurements. Figure 5 gives locations of topographic quadrangles in the study area which includes 0 regions with potential for SAV growth. Most quadrangles are sequentially numbered for efficient access to data. The name corresponding to each quadrangle in Figure 5 is listed in Table 2. Photo-interpretation to identify and delineate SAV beds utilized all available information including knowledge of aquatic grass signatures on film, distribution of SAV in 1991 from aerial photography, 1991 ground truth information, and aerial site surveys. USGS-published 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle masters (1:24,000 scale) printed by the Mid-Continent Mapping Center of the USGS on stable transparent mylar were used as base maps. Identical copies of these base maps were made at the same scale on stable transparent mylar using a contact diazo process. 2 4 WSCUA NANNA FLAM B I 14 5is 17 22 19 20 21 Is 25 27 HI 33 158 30 159 J37 30 IP -A 6 35 39 J 40 @41 42 X 14'3 .'

Delineation of each SAV bed onto the topographic quadrangle maps was facilitated by superimposing the photographic print with the appropriate mylar quadrangle on a fight table. SAV boundaries were then traced directly onto the mylar quadrangle with a pencil. Where minor scale differences were evident between a photograph and a quadrangle, or where significant shoreline erosion or accretion had occurred since USGS publication of a map, either a best fit was obtained or shoreline changes were noted on the quadrangle. In addition to delineating SAV bed boundaries, an estimate of percent cover within each bed was made visually in comparison with an enlarged Crown Density Scale similar to those developed for estimating of forest tree crown cover from aerial photography (Fig. 6). Bed density was classified into one of four categories based on a subjective comparison with the density scale. These were: 1, very sparse (<10% coverage); 2, sparse (10 to 40%); 3, moderate (40 to 70%); or 4, dense (70-100%). Either the entire bed or subsections within the bed were assigned a number (1 to 4) corresponding to the above density categories. Additionally, each distinct SAV unit (bed or bed subsection) was assigned an identifying two letter designation unique to its map. Subsections of beds were further identified as being part of a contiguous bed by the addition of two letters unique to each contiguous bed. These contiguous bed descriptions aid the tracking of a single bed between quad sheets as well as the analysis of those beds that had to be separated due to variation in SAV density. SAV Perimeter Digitization The perimeters of all SAV beds mapped from the aerial photography were digitized in a clockwise direction using a Numonics Model 2400/2200 DigiTablet Graphics Analysis System having a resolution of .001 inches (.00254 cm) and an accuracy of.005 inches (.0127 cm). Coordinateswere transmitted to a PRIME 9955 computer for data manipulation via software developed at VIMS. The perimeter of each SAV bed was defined by a polygon with a linear data point density of 127 per chart inch (50 per cm, 5 meter ground resolution). The total number of points defining any SAV bed is dependent on overall bed size. The SAV bed perimeter was stored as X and Y coordinates in centimeters from the quadrangle origin (lower left corner). Tests of Precision and Accuracy Prior to each digitization session, the Numonics instrument was checked manually against a digitizing standard. After a map had been secured to the digitizing tablet, the standard was secured to the map and digitized four times. The information from digitizing the standard was transmitted to the beginning of the SAV bed perimeter file on the PRIME computer. T@is same procedure was followed at the end of each digitizing session. When this file was processed by the computer, the digitized area 9 5 0-10 15 25 10-40 35 45 55 40-70 65 750 2 a 85 70-100 95M M M PERCENT CROWN COVER Figure 6. Crown density scale used for determining density of SAV beds: (1) very sparse, 0-10%; (2) sparse, 10-40%; (3) moderate, 40-70%; (4) dense, 70-100%. 10 of each standard was compared to the known area of the standard. If a variation between the known and the mean of the observed areas exceeded 1.0%, a warning was printed advising the operator to check the digitizing system. In addition, checks were made with respect to the absolute location of the digitizing standard as secured to the map. A comparison was made between the location of the standard before and after the digitizing session. If the absolute location differed by more then 0.10 cm another warning to check the system was printed. Any movement in absolute location can be indicative of digitizer instrument drift or chart movement during the digitization session. These checks assure that the final calculated bed locations are as accurate as possible. Maximum accuracy was maintained by exclusively using mylar topographic quadrangles rather than paper ones which can change scale as a function of changes in air temperature and humidity in the digitizer room. A complete outline of the digitization procedure can be found in Orth et al., 1988. Standard Operating Procedures for Quality Assurance/Quality Control Standard operating procedures (SOPs) were developed to facilitate orderly and efficient processing of the 1991 SAV maps and the S" bed perimeter computer files produced from them, and to comply with the need for consistency, quality assurance, and quality control. SOPs developed include: a detailed procedure outlining 46 steps for digitization of SAV maps; a 47 step checklist for editing SAV perimeter computer files to insure completeness and accuracy; a digitizer log in which all operations were recorded and dated, and which was used to guide and record editing operations; and a flow chart used to track progress of all operations including all changes in file names. Examples of these SOPs are in Orth et al., 1988. Choice of Representative SAV Bed Every S" bed mean area was the result of at least four independent digitizations of the outline of each SAV bed as part of a quality assurance/quality control program designed to isolate and remove anomolous, data and produce accurate and representative SAV bed polygons. The computer calculated area for each replication, and the three bed outlines or perimeters most similar in terms of area were then used for the calculation of a mean area. The areas used in the mean area calculation had to be, by contract, within 5% or less from that of the mean area. All beds whose areal difference were in excess of 5% of the mean bed area were flagged by the VIMS quality assurance quality control computer program for additional error assesment. The VIMS error rate was normally less than 1%. The replicate bed whose area was most similar to the mean area was identified as the "best bed". The best bed area and perimeter coordinate points were then saved by the computer program and transferred to the ARCANFO GIS system for area calculations. Conversion of SAV Perimeter Points from XY Centimeters to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Coordinates in AIWANFO 5.0.1 Format The EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Computer Center manages its geographic data base using Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ARCANFO Geographic Information System (GIS) (ESRI, 1989). During 1992, the VIMS SAV program also began converting its operation from the Prime to ARCANFO based on a SUN Sparc 2 Unix workstation. With the assistance of the Virginia Council on the Environment EcoMAPS program, procedures were developed in 1991 to convert/transform the best bed perimeter points from XY centimeters to UTM based coordinates in ARCANFO 5.0.1 format. This involved construction of data transfer files in an ARCANFO standard format ("generate"). This was done on the VIMS PRIME for each topographic quadrangle with SAV beds present. Four files per quadrangle were produced: 1. Polygon file containing SAV bed coordinates in digitizer-based centimeters. 2. Attribute file containing SAV bed labels, density, species composition, and dates. 3. Tic file containing map corner locations in digitizer-based coordinates (cm). 4. Geo file containing corresponding latitude and longitude positions for map comers. The generate files were then transferred to the workstation and imported into the ARCANFO system. A set of automated ARCANFO routines were used to input quadrangle-based SAV "generate" data into ARCANFO 5.0.1 format, and to assist in interactive editing of SAV polygons. ARC-based SAV polygons were displayed and edited by VIMS staff. SAV polygons appearing on the computer display screen were compared to their counterparts on the mylar quad maps. Discrepancies and artifacts were edited using a suite of ARCANFO editing "toole. ARCANFO-based data sets were considered satisfactory for submission to the EPA when the shape, location, and label of all SAV beds corresponded to those on the base mylar quad input map. ARCANFO-based SAV data were transformed to UTM coordinates, Zone 18, and submitted to EPA for final review, analysis, and deposition to archives. Calculation of 1991 SAV Areas The SAV coverages in UTM ARCANFO Zone 18 format were used to calculate area in square meters for all SAV beds. These areas are reported as quadrangle totals in Table 4, and section and zone totals in Tables 5 and 6. Section and zone totals were calculated by using an overlay operation of 12 the polygons on the SAV beds in ARCANFO. The definition of the sections used in this analysis are provided in Table 3. Organizational Procedures for Analysis and Discussion Discussion of the distribution of SAV in the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries has been organized into three zones as established by Orth and Moore (1982) and modified by Orth et al., (1989) (Fig. 7). The area between the mouth of the bay to a line stretching from the mouth of the Potomac River at Smith Point in Virginia to approximately 3 nautical miles south of Tangier Island then extending to the eastern side of the bay to an area just south of the mouth of the Little Annemessex River is referred to as the Lower Bay zone. The area between the south shore of the Little Annemessex River and the south shore of the Potomac River to the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Kent Island is referred to as the Middle Bay zone. The area between the Chesapeake Bay bridge and the Susquehanna Flats is referred to as the Upper Bay zone. The salinity within each zone roughly coincides with the major salinity zones of estuaries: polyhahne (18-25/oo), Lower zone; mesohaline (5-18'/oo), Middle zone; oligohaline (0.5-5 O/oo), Upper zone. Although the major rivers and smaller tributaries of the bay have their own salinity regimes, the distribution of SAV in each river is discussed within the zone where it connects to the bay proper. In addition, 21 major sections of the bay are identified for more detailed discussion of SAV distribution (Fig. 7, Table 3). These sections, which were first delineated for the 1984 survey (Orth et al., 1985) and slightly modified for the 1987 survey (Orth et al., 1989), denote relatively distinct parts of the bay and its tributaries that are readily identifiable from a map. The section boundaries used for analysis and discussion of the 1991 SAV distribution and abundance data are those used for the 1987, 1989, and 1990 reports (Orth et al., 1989; Orth and Nowak, 1990, Orth et al., 1991). Sections 1 through 4 are located in the Upper Bay zone. Sections 5 through 13 are located in the Middle Bay zone, and sections 14 through 21 are located in the Lower Bay zone. Appendix B gives the latitude and longitude of the boundary points of each Chesapeake Bay section and Chincoteague Bay in decimal degrees. SAV distribution in Chincoteague Bay is presented and discussed separately from the Chesapeake Bay. 13 CC Chesapeake Susquehanna R.

James River - all SAV in the James River including the Chickahominy River. Sections 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, and 20 were given new boundaries for the 1987 report (Orth et al., 1989) which also changed the delineation of the three major zones. These new boundaries were retained for the 1989 and 1990 reports (Orth and Nowak, 1990; Orth et al., 1991) and for this report. (Refer to Figure 7 and Appendix B for boundary locations.) 16 Ground Truth and Other Data Bases Ground truthing was accomplished by cooperative efforts of a number of agencies and individuals. Although not all areas of the bay were groundtruthed this program does provide valuable supplemental information. This program confirmed the existence of some SAV beds mapped from 1991 aerial photography, located a few 1991 SAV beds not visible from the photography, and provided species data for many of these beds. Ground truth survey information supplied to VIMS researchers was included on the SAV distribution and abundance maps reproduced in Appendix C to show positions of the survey stations in relation to the 1991 beds of SAV mapped from the aerial photographs. Each survey was designated by a unique symbol to identify the different methods of sampling. In most cases, the symbols on the SAV maps (Appendix C) have been enlarged and offset from the actual sampling point to avoid confusion with the mapped SAV bed. Where species information was available, it was included on the map. Because of space limitations on the maps reproduced in Appendix C, in some cases certain survey points were omitted, or data from one or more survey points were combined where the information was duplicated. Additionally, all ground truth data supplied to VIMS referenced on copies of 1990 SAV maps were tabulated in Appendix E and cross- referenced at VIMS by 1991 bed locations. For those areas in Virginia waters where SeTial photographic evidence of SAV beds was inconclusive, photo-verification was accomplished by ground truthing. Observations were principally made from small boats and by divers snorkeling over areas indicated from the photographs. In several river systems included in this survey (York, Piankatank and Rappahannock) where VIMS researchers transplanted SAV (principally eelgrass), transplant sites were also examined carefully by divers for any extant SAV. VIMS scientists also surveyed a number of sites in the bay as part of an intensive quantitative SAV study (VIMS, unpublished data). Citizen Field Observation data for Virginia waters (compiled by the USFWS) were also added to the 1991 Virginia S AV maps reproduced in Appendix C. In addition, a great deal of ground truth information could be extrapolated from earlier studies (Orth et aL, 1979; Orth, and Moore, 1982) since SAV beds in the lower bay contain primarily one or two species and have not undergone drastic fluctuations in distribution and abundance since the first bay-wide survey in 1978. In Maryland, ground truth data were obtained in 1991 by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) Potomac River survey, three SAV research projects, the USFWS, the Maryland DNR, and the Citizens' volunteer survey (this data set was compiled by the USFWS along with their own survey data). USFWS personnel surveyed selected locations in the upper bay, including the Potomac River, by boat using rakes to collect samples to determine presence or absence of SAV. All plant samples collected by USFWS were identified to species. Citizen groundtruthing identified plants to species when possible. SAV sightings 17 were referenced on USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps. USFWS staff transferred data from these surveys to full-scale copies of 1990 SAV distribution maps (USGS 7.5 minute topographic quads with 1990 SAV beds). These USFWS-prepared survey maps were supplied to VIMS SAV researchers and survey data were transferred by VIMS staff to the 1991 SAV distribution maps reproduced in Appendix C. USFWS survey data were tabulated, locating each SAV siting by listing its associated 1990 bed. This table was supplied to VIMS where additional survey data were added and it became the basis for the much expanded table published in Appendix E. In this latter VIMS version of the USFWS table, all ground truth data were added from the additional surveys, as noted in this report, and all were cross-referenced by 1991 bed locations as well as by 1990 bed locations. The field study in the Potomac River by the COG, which covered the shoreline areas from the District of Columbia (D.C.) to Aquia Creek used shoreline surveys to document the distribution of SAV in the tidal freshwater and transition zones of the Potomac River and tributaries (Maps 28, 34, 39, 40, 47, 48, 55, and 64) in September. This survey was done by boat, using rakes to collect samples to determine presence or absence of SAV. Plants were identified by species and the proportion of each was estimated for vegetated areas. Each vegetated area with species proportions was referenced on USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps by the surveyors. The USFWS and Citizens' Survey also collected ground truth data from tributaries of the Potomac. The USFWS surveyed the Port Tobacco River, while the Citizens' Survey covered Nanjemoy and Piscataway creeks. Survey maps were supplied to VIMS SAV researchers. Patuxent River ground truth data were obtained by the Citizens' Survey. Data from these surveys were transferred by VIMS staff to the 1991 SAV distribution maps (reproduced in Appendix C) and were tabulated in Appendix E. One 1991 SAV project being conducted on the Susquehanna Flats by Stan Kollar of Harford Community College provided data in the form of species presence by percentage, primarily by visual estimates. A SAV research group headed by William Dennison at the University of Maryland Horn Point Environmental Laboratories (HPEL) also provided 1991 ground truth data in collaboration with the VIMS research team. This was part of the intensive quantitative study mentioned earlier (VIMS, unpublished data). The Essex Community College SAV Research Group of Baltimore County, Maryland, contributed ground truth data for quads 13 and 14. The National Park Service, Assateague Island, as well as citizens, provided ground truthing for Chincoteague Bay. Maps of these study sites with species data were provided to VIMS researchers. Species locations from these data were added to the 1991 SAV maps reproduced in Appendix C and were tabulated in Appendix E by VIMS staff. In addition to the scientific surveys, private citizens participated in identifying 1991 SAV beds by checking for presence of SAV at previous years' SAV bed locations in certain areas in the bay, and by identifying new SAV beds in 1991. Private citizens volunteered to assist in the 1991 18 SAV ground survey under guidance of the USFWS and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF). This program entailed identifying and recording the location of SAV in the bay in 1991. Volunteers, who were recruited through press releases, newsletters, and personal letters, were provided with a SAV identification guide, reduced 1990 SAV maps to aid in location of SAV beds, and data sheets for reporting visits to numerous sites around the bay. Each volunteer was asked to identify the location where SAV was sighted, and to identify the species. All information from the Citizens! Survey was submitted to Kathryn Reshetiloff (USFWS) for processing. SAV sitings reported by the Citizens' Survey were mapped on 1990 SAV maps., As previously explained, USFWS personnel also tabulated data from most of the 1991 Citizens' Survey along with their own survey's data, listing each SAV siting by 1990 bed location. VDAS staff mapped these data on 1991 maps reproduced in Appendix C, and data were tabulated in Appendix E. 19 RESULTS Data Presentation SAV distribution data are presented by topographic quadrangle Crable 4), by section and zone Crable 5), and by quadrangles within a section (Table 6). Topographic quadrangle maps annotated with all SAV beds are presented in Appendix C, while individual bed arm for each quadrangle are given in Appendix D. Appendix E tabulates all ground truth data for 199 1. The 1991 SAV distribution data and species occurrences are first discussed relative to the Upper, Nfiddle, and Lower Bay zones, respectively. The 21 sections of the Chesapeake Bay, and Chincoteague Bay, are then discussed individually and the data compared to results from the 1990 survey of SAV distribution and abundance (Orth, et al., 1991). SAV is plotted for each section and for Chincoteague Bay in Figures 8 through 29. SAV is plotted in red, a bold black line represents a section boundary, and USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles are represented by a grid of numbered rectangles. (Refer to Table 2 for quadrangle names listed by map number.) 1991 SUBMARY In 1991, the Chesapeake Bay had 25,623 hectares of SAV, compared to 24,296 hectares in 1990, with 2,158 hectares (8.41/6), 11,664 hectares (45.50/6), and 11,802 hectares (46. 11/o) occurring in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Bay zones, respectively (Figs. 1, 2, and 3). Upper Bay Zone In 1991 seventy-eight percent (1,684 hectares) of the SAV within the Upper Bay zone was located in the Susquehanna Flats (Section 1). Eight species of SAV were documented by ground truth surveys in this section, with Myriophyflum spicatum being dominant. A recently introduced exotic species, Hydrilla verticillata, was found in the Flats but occurred in small isolated beds. Overall abundance of SAV declined from the 1990 (1,773 hectares) level, but the density of beds increased slightly from 1990. Eighty-nine percent of all SAV beds in the Flats were classified as very sparse (0-10% coverage), and 7% of beds were classified as dense (70-100% coverage). This is a slight improvement over 1990 coverage when 92% were very sparse and 5% of beds were classified as dense. In the Upper Eastern Shore (Section 2) there were 326 hectares of SAV (95 hectares less than in 1990) located principally in the Elk and lower Sassafras rivers, and Swan, Stillpond, and Chum creeks, with marry of the same species as reported in the Susquehanna Flats section. The Upper Western Shore (Section 3) had 91 hectares of SAV, primarily M. spicatum and Vallisneria americana, concentrated in Saltpeter and Dundee creeks. This is similar to 1990 when there were 90.47 hectares. In the Chester River (Section 4) SAV abundance (57 hectares) was down 10 hectares from 1990. SAV was most abundant adjacent to Eastern Neck, Eastern Neck Island, and in the lower Chester River. In this region Ruppia mmitima was the most abundant of seven species reported. 20 Table 4 Total Area of SAV in Hectares by USGS 7.5 Bfinute Topographic Quadrangles for 1990 and 1991.

This is an increase of 3 10 hectares over 1990. The two dominant species were R. maritima and Zostera marina, Nineteen percent (2,178 hectares) of the SAV in this zone was present in the Nfiddle Eastern Shore (Section 12), primarily in the Barren Island-Honga River area, the Big and Little Annemessex rivers, and the lower section of the Manokin River, with R. maritima being the dominant species reported. Little or no SAV was mapped or reported from the Central Western Shore (Section 5), Pattixent River (Section 8), and Middle Western Shore (Section 9). The A4iddle Bay zone also includes the entire Potomac River, where 3,597 hectares of SAV were present in 199 1. SAV was concentrated in two distinct regions: 1) the Upper Potomac River (Section 11) with 3,016 hectares, where Hydrilla verticillata remained the numerically dominant species (nine other species were reported by the COG, VIh4S, and Citizens' Survey); and 2) the upper portion of the Lower Potomac River (Section 10) with 581 hectares, including Narjernoy Creek and Port Tobacco River, with V. americana and M spicatum being the most frequently reported species. The total abundance of SAV in the Upper Potomac section increased from 1990 by 493 hectares; it increased in the Lower Potomac section by 49 hectares. SAV continued to decline in the Eastern Bay and Choptank River sections. SAV in the Eastern Bay (Section 6) decreased 321 hectares from 1990 to a total of 68 hectares in 199 1, while in the Choptank River (Section 7) it declined 79 hectares from 1990 to a total of 114 hectares in 199 1. Lower Bay Zone Distribution and abundance in 1991 in the Lower Bay zone were similar to 1990. Forty-eight percent (5,720 hectares) of SAV in this zone was found in the Lower Eastern Shore (Section 14) around the Fox Islands and the mouths of major creeks (i.e. Cherrystone Inlet and Hungars, Mattawoman, Occahannock, Craddock, Pungoteague, and Onancock creeks). Along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, SAV was abundant in Mobjack Bay (Section 18) (15% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone), in the lower York River (Section 19) (7% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone), and in the Lower Western Shore (Section 20), specifically Back River and Drum Island Flats area adjacent to Plum Tree Island (17% of SAV in the Lower Bay zone). There were 635 hectares of SAV mapped in the Reedville Region (Section 15) in 1991, a 4% increase over 1990. 'Mere were 339 hectares of SAV identified in 1991 in the New Point Comfort Region (Section 17) compared to 3 57 hectares in 1990. Both R. maritima and Z marina were abundant throughout this zone. SAV abundance was down 7% from 1990 in both the Piankatank and Rappahannock rivers (Section 16). Ruppia maritima was the dominant species in those rivers, with Zostera marina also present as a result of previously successful transplant efforts from 1984 to 1990 using both seeds and whole plants. The James River (Section 2 1) had less than 3 hectares of SAV in 199 1, which is the same as in 1990. .37 Chincoteague Bay SAV in the Chincoteague Bay section increased slightly in distribution from 1990 with 2,746 hectares mapped in 199 1. SAV in Chincoteague Bay and Sinepuxent Bay consisted of R. maritima and Z marina, and was located along the eastern side of the bay behind Assateague Island. Assawoman Bay contained only R maritima while only Z marina was reported from Isle of Wight Bay. DISCUSSION OF SECTIONS ARIMANGED WITHIN ZONES Upper Bay Zone 1. SUSQUEHANNA FLATS There were 1,684 hectares of.SAV in the Susquehanna Flats section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 8; Appendix C, Maps 2, 3, and 9) compared to 1,773 hectares mapped in 1990. Seven percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 1% was moderate (density class 3), 3% was sparse (density class 2), and 891/6 was very sparse (density class 1). SAV beds were located principally in two main areas: 1) sparse to dense fringing beds in the Susquehanna River consisting primarily of M. spicalum, with P. pectinalus, C demersum, V americana, H. dubia, N. guadaluvensis, N. minor, H. verticillata, and Arajas spp. in lesser amounts from Sp@ncer Isiand to the river mouth at Havre de Grace on the west side, and to Stump Point at the mouth of Mill Creek on the north side; and 2) a large area of very sparse SAV located in the broad shoal area at the river mouth. This broad shoal consisted primarily of small patches ofM. spicatum. In addition, SAV beds were mapped in Spesutic Narrows for the first time this year. Most of the beds were small, fringing beds, most likely M. spicatum. A total of ten species (M. spicatum, H. dubia, V americana, H. verticillatA C. demersum, P. pectinatus, N. quaddupensis, N. minor, N. gracillima, P. perfoliatus, and Najas spp.) have been reported either by Stan Kollar of Harford Community College, or the Citizens' Survey. 2. UPPER EASTERN SHORE There were 326 hectares of SAV mapped for the Upper Eastern Shore section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 9; Appendix C, Maps 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17) compared to 421 hectares mapped for 1990. One percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was moderate (density class 3), 32% was sparse (density class 2), and 66% was very sparse (density class 1). Principal locations of beds were in the Elk River, mouth of Bohemia River, Swan Creek, lower Sassafras River, Still Pond and the mouth of Chum Creek. Very little SAV was mapped in the Bohen-da River and along the mainstcrn of the bay from Stiff Pond to Swan Point. Myriophyflum spicatum and V americana were the two most commonly reported species, with four other species (H. verficillata, Na/as spp., Z pahistris, and P. pectinatus) reported in lesser amounts as determined by Stan Kollar of Harford Community College and the Citizens' Survey (maps 4, 5, 9, 10, 15, and 16). 38 002 003 C 3 kq hanna R.

UPPER WESTERN SHORE Them were 91 hectares of SAV mapped from the aerial photographs in 1991 for the Upper Western Shore section (Fables 4-6; Fig. 10; Appendix C, Maps 9, 13 and 14) compared to 90 hectares in 1990. Ninety percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was moderate (density class 3), and 10% was sparse (density class 2). SAV beds were concentrated in Saltpeter and Dundee creeks. SAV was mapped in the lower Spesutie Narrows in 199 1, the first time SAV was mapped in this part of section 3. Very little or no SAV was reported in the Back, Patapsco, Bush, Gunpowder, Middle, and Magothy rivers. M spicatwn, F- canadensis, C demerswn, Z palustris, R maritima, N. quadalypensis, and V wnericana were reported by the Citizens' Survey, Stan Kollar of Harford Community College, and Essex Community College (Maps 13, 14, 19, 23, and 24). 4. CHESTER RIVER Them were 57 hectares of SAV in the Chester River section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 11; Appendix C, Maps 20, 21, 26, and 33) compared to 67 hectares in 1990. Ten percent of die total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 56% was moderate (density class 3), and 34% was sparse (density class 2). SAV has continually declined in this section since 1987 when 515 hectares of SAV were mapped and large, dense beds of R. maritima dominated this section. SAV was located adjacent to Eastern Neck and Eastern Neck Island, especially near Eastern Neck Narmws, and in Robin Cove in the Chester River. Additional beds are found in Rock Hall Harbor, The Haven, Swan, and Huntingfield creeks, located above Eastern Neck on the Chesapeake Bay. Six species of SAV were reported from this section in 1991 by the Citizens', University of Maryland's HPEL, and USFWS surveys (R. maritima, P. perfoliatus, P. pectinatus, A-f spicatum, E. canadensis, and Z palustris). Robin Pond was reported to have all six species from the Citizens' Survey which would make ibis one of the most diverse beds in this section. Middle Bay Zone 5. CENTRAL WESTERN SHORE There was no SAV observed from the aerial photography in the Central Western Shore section in 1991 (Fables 4-6; Fig. 12) which was similar to 1990. Although not evident in the aerial photography, the Citizens' Survey reported SAV from a few sites in this section, primarily the Severn and South rivers, Lake Ogleton, and South Creek of the West River (Maps 18, 23, 24, 30, 3 1, and 35). Species reported from this section include Z palustris, C. demersum, M. spicatum, and R marifima. 41 006 007 008 0 F9 I e .@@ nro L 013 Back Riur 014@ 015 C 018 @@nO19 ID20 C 02 025 m 023 Figure 10.

EASTERN BAY There were 68 hectares of SAV identified from the Eastern Bay section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 13; Appendix C, Maps 32, 33, 36, and 37) compared to 389 hectares reported in 1990. This is a dramatic reduction from 1989 when 83 1 hectares were found. Eight percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 4% was moderate (density class 3), 57% was sparse (density class 2), and 30% was very sparse (density class 1). In 1991 most of the SAV was found in lower Cox Creek, the eastern shore of lower Kent Island, Parson Island, Harbor Cove and between Wades Point and Claiborne. R. maritima and Z. palustris were the only species reported by the University of Maryland HPEL and the Citizens' surveys (Maps 32, 33, 36, 37 and 38). 7. CHOPTANKRIVER There were 114 hectares of SAV observed in the Choptank River section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 14; Appendix C, Maps 43, 44, 51, 52, and 62) compared to 193 hectares in 1990. Thirty-one percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was moderate (density class 3), 68% was sparse (density class 2), and 1% was very sparse (density class 1). SAV was found in mairdy small beds in Blackwalnut Cove at the southern tip of Tilghman Island, Broad Creek at the mouth of Bulls Creek, Brannock Bay, the mouth of Chapel Creek, Tred Avon River, Irish Creek, Cook Point Cove, Covey Creek, Cators Cove, and James Island. Ground truthing by Citizens' Survey and scientists from the University of Maryland's HPEL located two species of SAV in this section (Maps 36, 43, 44, 5 1, and 52) with R. maritima being the most prevalent. Zannichellia palustris was observed in scattered locations. 8. PATUXENT RIVER There was no SAV observed from the aerial photography in the Patuxent River section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 15) which was similar to 1990. There were sporadic sightings of four SAV species in the Patuxent River by the the Citizens' Survey (Maps 41, 49, 61, 70, 7 1, and 159). Those species reported from the lower sections of the river were Z. palustris and R. maritima. Species found from the upper sections of the river were V americana, C demersum, Najas guadalupensis, Najas minor, Z. palustris, E. canadensis and P. crispus. 9. MEDDLE WESTERN SHORE There were no SAV beds identified in die Middle Western Shore section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 16) which was similar to 1990. There were no observations from ground surveys in 1991. 45 027 031 032 033 158 4z@ rros? 13MV Parson Island 4@ 036 037 ',@,O 8 3 lp lei k- 643 *111OV - 044 lik Tilghman 4S. @03 Figure 13.

LOWER POTOMAC RIVER There were 581 hectares of SAV identified in the Lower Potomac River section from the 1991 aerial photography (Tables 4-6; Fig. 17; Appendix C, Maps 56, 57, 58, 65,66,67,89,161, and 162) compared to 532 hectares reported in 1990. Sixty-one percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 26.5% was moderate (density class 3), No was sparse (density class 2), and 4.5% was very sparse (density class 1). Most of the SAV occurred in the region near the Route 301 bridge, in Nanjemoy Creek and Port Tobacco River, and in the shoreline adjacent to these two creeks. S" beds were fringing along the eastern side of Mathias Point Neck to just below the Route 301 bridge. Several small beds were observed in Machodoc, Rosier, and Cuckhold creeks, and. the Wicomico River. VIMS surveys reported R maritima, E canadensis, and P. perfoliatus in Cuckbold Creek and R. marilima, V americana , and P. perfoliatus between the mouth of Cuckhold Creek and the 301 bridge (map 67). VIMS surveys also reported R. maritima, M spicatum, on the upper Wicon-dco River (maps 58 and 162), and the Citizens' Survey reported Z. palustris at the mouth of the Wicomico River (map 68). VIMS surveys reported V americana, and R maritima, at Windmill Point on the Port Tobacco River, V americana at Upper Cedar Point and Mathias Point; and Vamericana and M. spicatum in Nanjemoy Creek and Goose Creek (Map 57). The Citizens' Survey reported V americana and C demersum in Nanjemoy Creek (map 56), and Z. palustris and R. maritima in lower Machodoc Creek (map 78). The USFWS reported V. americana, P. perfoliatus, P. pectinatus, E canadensis, and R. maritima in the Port Tobacco River. 11. UPPER POTOMAC RIVER There were 3,016 hectares of SAV mapped in the Upper Potomac River section (Tables 4-6; Fig. 18; Appendix C, Maps 28, 34, 39, 40, 47, 48, 55, 65, and 16 1) in 1991 compared to 2,523 hectares reported in 1990. Atotalof 81%of the SAVbeds were densely vegetated (density class 4), 4.7% was moderate (density class 3), 8.5% was sparse (density class 2), and 5.8% was very sparse (density class 1). SAV beds from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge (except those in the middle of the river - Map 34, beds MA4, EA4, and FA4) to just below Piscataway Creek still remain reduced in coverage from 1989. However, SAV distribution in the Alexandria and Mount Vernon quadrangles increased 13% and 47% respectively from 1990. SAV is still absent from Occoquan Bay and Belmont Bay. Extensive groundtruth surveys were conducted by the Council of Governments (Maps 28, 34,.39, 40, 47, 48, 55 and 64) while the Citizens' Survey reported SAV from Maps 29 and 40. There were ten species identified from this section in 1991. Hydrilla verficillata was reported from Quantico, Mattawoman, Chicamuxen, Dogue, Pomonkey, Piscataway, Swan, and Broad creeks, Gunston Cove, and both sides of the mainstem Potomac River from Washington D.C. to Aquia Creek. Other species reported from this section included M spicatum, C demersum, H. dubia, N. minor, V. americana, P. pectinatus, P. crispus, N. gracillima, and Naias spp. 50 161 056 057 Por T cco 058 Vanje iv Creek Os 162 059 oint jr, 0 068 069 071 065 066. 067 070 076 07 78 079 080 iver St. Afar to 086 088 87 089 090 @O 096 097-098 116@ Figure 17.

MIDDLE EASTERN SHORE There were 2,178 hectares of SAV identified in the Middle Eastern Shore section (Tables 4-6; Fig. 19; Appendix C, Maps 63, 72, 73, 74, 82, 83, 84, 85, 92, 93, 100, and 101) in 1991 compared to 2,285 hectares reported in 1990. SAVbeds,ofwWch4l% were dense (class 4), 29% moderate (class 3), 22% sparse (class 2), and 8% very sparse (class 1) were very abundant in: 1) the Honga River, 2) between Barren Island and Meekins Neck-Upper Hooper Island, and 3) the lower Manokin and the Big and Little Annernessex rivers. Few SAV beds were observed in Fishing Bay and in the Nanticoke and Wicornico rivers. Ruppia maritima was the predominant species found by the HPEL and Citizens' surveys (Maps 63, 72, 73, 74, 82, 83, 84, 85, 92, 93, 100, and 10 1). Zostera marina was reported from several locations on the Marion (Map 93), Great Fox Island (Map 100), and Crisfield (Map 101) quadrangles. Zannichelliapalustris was reported from Crisfield quad (Map 101) and Marion quad (Map 93). 13. MID-BAY ISLAND COMPLEX There were 5,707 hectares of SAV mapped in the Mid-Bay Island Complex in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 20; Appendix C, Maps 83, 91, 92, 99, 100, and 107) compared to 5,397 hectares reported in 1990. This section contains 22.3% of the SAV in the entire Chesapeake Bay, an increase of only 0. 1% over 1990. However, the density of SAV has increased since 1990. Fifty-nine percent of the SAV within this section was in density class 4 compared to 45% in 1990. Twenty-three percent of SAV within this section in 1991 was moderate in density (class 3), 16% was sparse (class 2), and 2% was very sparse (class 1). Ground truffi surveys were conducted by VIMS, HPEL, and the Citizens' Survey, The broad, expansive shoal area between Tangier Island and Smith Island continued to be densely vegetated by both R. maritima and Z marina, and was by far the largest bed in ft Chesapeake Bay. R. maritima was the species most often reported by the surveys around these islands. J,ower Bay Zone 14. LOWER EASTERN SHORE There were 5,720 hectares of SAV observed in the Lower Eastern Shore section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 2 1; Appendix C, Maps 100, 10 1, 102, 107, 108, 109, 113, 114, 119, 124, 133, 134, 142, and 143) compared to 4,823 hectares reported in 1990. Forty-seven percent of the total SAV was in density class 4; 15% was in class 3; 28% was in class 2; and 10% was in class 1. Species reported were primarily Z marina and R. maritima with Z palustris reported at a few sites. There were ground truth observations from VIMS and Citizens' surveys (Maps 100, 10 1, 108, 113, 114, and 124). Large, dense beds continue to persist at the mouth of Cherrystone Inlet near Cape Charles, at the mouths of Hungars, Mattawoman, Occohamock, Craddock, Pungoteague, Onancock, and Chesconessex creeks, at the Big Marsh area mar Chesconessex Creek, at Webb Island off the mouth of Deep Creek, and on the large 53 hman Island 6 062 0 63, 074 072 073 '<075- 164 081 082 1,@@083 084 085 Bloodswc th Wand 093 so Marsh Island Big A 092 L ttle Sr ilth Wand Ann es e R er 100 101 Figure 19.

REEDVELLE REGION There were 635 hectares of SAV identified in the Reedville Region in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 22; Appendix C, Maps 106 and 112) compared to 608 hectares reported in 1990. Twenty-three percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 34% was moderate (density class 3), 36% was sparse (density class 2), and 7% was very sparse (density class 1). R. marilima and Z marina were the two species identified by VIMS and Citizens' Survey in 1991 (Maps 106 and 112). Most beds were found in Little Bay, Fleets Bay, Dymer Crock, Indian Creek, Dividing Creek Ball Creek, Cloverdale Creek, Dameron Marsh, Ingram Bay, and Fleeton Point. There was one large bed in Fleets Bay, principally Z marina, that was located in a water depth of two meters (MLW). This bed may be one of the deepest occurring Z marina beds in the bay, and although undoubtedly present during previous surveys, had not been mapped. 16. RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER CON[PLEX There were 509 hectares of SAV observed in the Rappahannock River Complex in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 23; Appendix C, Maps 110, 111, 117, 118, and 123) compared to 544 hectares reported in 1990. SAV coverage has been declining in this section over the last duce years when it reached a peak abundance of 669 hectares in 1989. This decline has occurred in the Rappahannock River where some of the large beds of R. maritima present in recent surveys have either disappeared or been reduced in coverage. However, the abundance is still greater than in 1986 when only 18 hectares were mapped, with none in the Rappahannock River. Thirty-eight percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 17% was moderate (density class 3), 44% was sparse (density class 2), and 1% was very sparse (density class 1). Ruppia marifima continues to be the dominant species in both the Rappahannock and Piankatank rivers. In particular, dense beds of R. maritima were present in the Corrotoman River and along the north shore of the Rappahannock River between Carters Creek and the Corrotoman River (includes obervations from the Citizens' and VIMS surveys; Maps 110, 111, 117,118, and 123). Z marina is present insmall patches in both rivers. This is a result of successful transplant efforts using both seeds and whole plants in a number of different areas since 1984 (VIMS, unpublished data) and as a result of natural propagation from nearby beds. In the Rappahannock River transplanted Z marina is still doing well off Sanders Cove just above the bridge, while the large bed off Windmill Pt. at the mouth continues to expand to an area of 13.3 hectares, up from 8.8 hectares in 1990. In the Piankatank River Z marina is present off Burton Point (Umplanted), along the northeast side of Gwynn Island (both transplanted and natural) and off Stingray Pt. (naftual). In Milford Haven Z marina is present off Hills Creek (transplanted), on the west side of Gwynn Island off The Hole in the Wall and off the northeast tip of the island, and in the Willis Wharf area. 57 098 Orecl t Fleei Dn Pt.

NEW POINT COMFORT REGION There were 339 hectares of SAV identified in the New Point Comfort Region in 1991 (rables 4-6; Fig. 24; Appendix C, Map 132) compared to 357 hectares reported in 1990. Fifty-nine percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 201/a was moderate (density class 3), and 2 1% was sparse (density class 2). The Citizens' Survey reported only Z marina, although R. maritima has been found in earlier surveys. M MORIACK BAY COMPLEX The Mobjack Bay Complex contained 1,788 hectares of SAV in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 25; Appendix C, Maps 122, 123, 13 1, and 132) compared to 1,703 hectares reported in 1990. SAV beds consisting of both Z marina and R. maritima (from ground truth observations made by citizens and VIMS personnel in maps 122, 123, 13 1, and 132) were abundant along the entire shoreline of Mobjack Bay, as well as in the four tributaries: Severn, Ware, North, and East rivers. The Mobjack Bay area continued to harbor some of the more extensive SAV beds on the western shore of the lower Chesapeake Bay. Fifty-six percent of the total coverage of SAV in this section was dense (density class 4), 271/a was moderate (density class 3), and 13% was sparse (density class 2). 19. YORK RIVER There were 804 hectares of SAV observed in the York River section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 26; Appendix C, Maps 131, 132, 139, and 140) compared to 791 hectares reported in 1990. Seventy-eight percent of the total coverage in this section is classified as dense (class 4), while 2% was moderately dense (density class 3), 19.8% was sparse (density class 2), and less than 1% was very sparse (density class 1). Ground truth observations were made by VIMS surveys (Maps 131, 132, 139, and 140). Dense SAV beds, consisting of both Z marina and R. maritima, were located principally along the north shore from Gloucester Point to the mouth of the river. SAV beds were absent upstream of Gloucester Point on the north shore except for one small bed of Z marina near Gloucester Point a result of VIMS timplanting efforts using seeds in 1990. Z marina was transplanted to Mumfort Island, Catlett Island, and Clay Bank in the fall of 1990 by VIMS staff and was present through the spring and early summer, but did not survive the summer. Except for one large bed located on the north side of the Goodwin Islands and a smaller bed adjacent to the Coast Guard Station, the south shore was unvegetated. 20. LOWER WESTERN SHORE There were 2,006 hectares of SAV mapped in the lower Western Shore section in 1991 (Tables 4-6; Fig. 27; Appendix C, Maps 140, 141, 147, and 152) compared to 1,797 hectares reported in 1990. Ground truth surveys by citizens and VIMS (Maps 140, 141 and 152) reported both Z marina and R. maritima. Forty-one percent of the total coverage in this section was mapped as dense (density class 4), 281/o as moderate 60 i ChesapeakE Bay -0.- --l' C: -t- 10 o 0 - a- #-- , E % :r. 0 a) 0 z E@l @k I 1% 1 & k8 A.. 1@ &@ k'@@z .

SAV was mapped in Broad Bay, Back River, the mouth of the Poquoson River off Pasture and Hunts Neck, Drum Island Flats, Poquoson Flats, adjacent to Crab Neck just south of Goodwin Island, and on the south side of Goodwin Island. No SAV was present in the southwest and northwest branches of Back River, or in the Poquoson River, Chisman Creek, and Back Creek. 21. JAMEES RIVER There were 2.74 bectares of SAV (density class 3) in the mainstem. James River in 1991 (rabies 4-6; Fig. 28; Appendix C, Map 147), compared to 2.73 hectares in 1990. This moderately dense bed located at the mouth of Hampton Creek adjacent to the Veteran's Hospital had no ground truthing in 1991 but has been reported to consist predominantly of Z marina in previous ground surveys. The Citizens' Survey reported C demersum and Z palustris in Herring Creek (Map 125) and Morris Creek (Map 127), and C demersum in Gray's Creek but no SAV was mapped from aerial photography for these quadrangles. CMCOTEAGUE BAY There were 2,746 hectares of SAV identified in Chincoteague Bay in 1991 (rabies 4-6; Fig. 29; Appendix C, Maps 167, 168, 170, 172, 173, and 175) compared to 2,493 hectares reported in 1990. Sixty-nine percent of the total coverage in this section was mapped as dense (density class 4), 24% as moderate (density class 3), 2% as sparse (density class 2), and 5% as very sparse (density class 1). The VIMS, Citizens', MD-DNR, and National Park Service surveys found both Z marina and R. maritima throughout Chincoteague Bay (Maps 170, 172, 173, and 175). The Citizens' and MD-DNR surveys both reported only Z marina from Sinepuxcnt Bay (maps 167, 168, and 170), however, the National Park Service reported Z marina and R. maritima for Sinepuxent Bay (map 167, and 170). Only R. maritima was reported from Assawoman Bay (Map 166) while the Citizens' Surveys reported Z marina in Isle of Wight Bay (map 168). All of the SAV in Chincoteague Bay continues to be present on the eastern side of the bay adjacent to Assateague Island. The vegetation was concentrated in four relatively distinct areas identical to that reported in the earlier surveys from 1986 through 1990. They were located west of the northern end of Chincoteague Island, and west of West Bay, Green Run Bay, and the Tingles Island area. 65 IA I 125 126 12 129 V, 135 136 137 138 v@139 140 p 144 145 146 T 147 148 149, 150 JL Ar 154 4554 156. 157 Figure 28.
