Explore the Choptank\r\nRiver—from its beginnings at upstream springs and farm ditches to its broad estuary\r\nbelow Cambridge, Maryland—discover its inhabitants, and learn about the impact\r\nof human activity on the natural environment. Generations of watermen and\r\nfarmers, oystermen and oyster shuckers, crabbers and crab pickers, commercial\r\nfishermen, and a “turkler” are just a few of the folks you'll become acquainted\r\nwith. Additionally, retired biologist and aquatic scientist Nick Carter, water\r\nquality scientist Tom Fisher, and oyster captain Wade Murphy offer tales of\r\nwonder and sacrifice while also warning us of the consequences of overpopulation and wasteful habits. Learn how we can restore the river, reduce pollution, conserve food and fuel, and protect this special place for all of time.[AuthorName]Tom Horton[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio]David W.
