Abstract

This poster presents a survey of the biodiversity encountered on Tangier Island, Virginia and Smith Island, Maryland during our fall break excursion (October 4-8, 2023) for CTZN 327, Stewardship of Public Waterways. We recorded species information or took pictures of plants and animals for later identification. The data collected allowed some conclusions to be drawn on the similarities and differences in biodiversity in these two Chesapeake Bay island communities.
