     "text": "The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States and provides critical resources to fish, wildlife and people. For more than a decade, recreational fish species have been plagued with skin lesions and intersex conditions (the presence of male and female sex characteristics in the same fish) that biologists attributed to exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Interdisciplinary teams of hydrologists, chemists, geologists, geographers and biologists on the Chesapeake Bay EDC project of the U.S. Geological Survey's Environmental Health Mission Area work collaboratively at field sites and in highly specialized U.S. Geological Survey laboratories with Federal, State and academic research partners. This work provides science to inform decisions on agricultural best management practices, urban storm water management, municipal wastewater treatment and other factors related to sources, movement and possible health effects of EDCs on recreational fish species. This research teams is in its final completion stages."
