 Contaminants Continue to Pose Threat to Osprey in Chesapeake Bay
Scientists are finding that environmental contaminants are still a potential threat to Ospreys in the Chesapeake Bay which is home to their world's largest nesting population -- over 2000 pairs. Barnett Rattner and his U.S. Geological Survey coworkers examined Osprey eggs in the bay for DDT and found while DDT and its metabolites were at less than half the levels reported in the 1960s and '70s, total organochlorine concentrations in eggs were only slightly lower. |
