The American eel, or Anguilla rostrada, is one of the strangest and most contrarian fishes in the world, with a migration pattern opposite that of most species. But its populations are declining, in part because of overfishing for seafood markets in Europe and Asia, and because a growing number of their streams are blocked by dams and development.

Maryland and surrounding states plan to use pollution credit trading as a central part of their strategy to meet new EPA pollution limits for the Chesapeake Bay. George Kelly, founder of Environmental Banc & Exchange, believes that a market-based approach will reduce fertilizer runoff pollution on farms, although others are skeptical.

It would be easy to idealize life in the Chesapeake Bay island fishing town of Tylerton, which has a population of 50 people and is located 40 minutes by boat from Maryland's lower eastern shore. But the proposed closing of the Tylerton Post Office is an example of how the community is being threatened by population loss, rising seas, and winds of change.
