FRONTLINE examines the rising hazards to human health and eco-system, and why it's so hard to keep our waters clean. The coastal estuaries of Puget Sound and the Chesapeake Bay-are in perilous condition. Polluted runoff still flows in from industry, agriculture, and massive suburban development, and scientists fear contamination to the food chain, drinking water, as well as a growing list of endangered species.
"The research is rigorous and the presentation is straightforward and thought-provoking. The dire consequences of inaction are presented. Students studying environmental science and ecology would benefit viewing this outstanding film." - School Library Journal
