Date: 2021-11-30

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States and Thalia Creek is one of more than one-hundred thousand creeks and rivers that flow into it. In attempts to decrease the impact of urbanization and restore what is a natural habitat to an abundance of wildlife, the City of Virginia Beach and Va. Beach Public Schools Partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in what is known as the Lynnhaven River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Project. This video explains the goals of the project and how the return of certain species to the area after restoration indicates improved conditions for everyone that enjoys what this watershed has to offer. 
  
A special thanks to the students of Princess Ann Highschool who participate in the maintenance and monitoring of this project.
