The wetlands of the Chesapeake Bay are the main nesting sites of the bald eagle, the symbol of the United States. The world's largest population of the Osprea lives here. Bullheaders and ospreans feed on Chesapeake Bay fish. Many migratory birds, including swans and geese, spend the winter at the Chesapeake swamp. Over 75% of the world's commercially harvested fish and shellfish are related to wetlands. For example, the amount of blue crabs harvested in Chesapeake Bay in 2007 was about 51 million dollars. This crab is the official "National Crustacean" of Maryland State and an important part of the state's identity. There are thousands of souvenirs in the image of the Blue Club, and you can enjoy club cakes in many Maryland restaurants. Blue club is also in Chesapeake Bay license in Maryland

Maryland is divided into two different parts by Chesapeake Bay. Part of Maryland is located east of the Chesapeake Bay on the Del Marva Peninsula (Unnamed: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia). This part of the state is called the East Coast. The Maryland section west of Chesapeake Bay is known as the West Bank. Despite the small size of Maryland, five major landscapes define the landscape. Atlantic coastal plain: Atlantic coastal plain of New Jersey to Florida, Mexico Bay, South to Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula. It covers the east coast of Maryland and a part of the west coast. Maryland is located in an area known as the coastal plain of the Mid Atlantic. From the northeastern edge of Maryland, this plain extends southwest through Maryland and extends to Washington DC near the border with Virginia. The plain is flat and low, and it is on the 400-foot west coast

Maryland is divided into three topographical areas: the Appalachian Mountains Region, the Piedmont Plateau and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Chesapeake Bay is the world's largest estuary that separates states. Maryland borders the Atlantic Ocean in the east, northern Pennsylvania, west West Virginia and southern Virginia. British lived in Maryland colony for the first time in 1634. King Charles I awarded Sir Baltimore George Calvert to the south side of the 40th parallel line of the Potomac River. The Maryland colony was named after Queen Charles I, the wife of Charles I. The first Baltimore lords died before settling in colonies. As a result, Sergious Calvert, the son of Baltimore's second lord, organized colonial expeditions. His older brother Leonard Calvert was the first governor of the state of Maryland
