The Rauch Foundation's overarching goal is to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries by increasing land and water protection and restoration, expanding the capacity of other organizations to do this work, engaging citizens in this work, and transforming systems that impede progress. The Foundation's work in Maryland has three goals: improving water quality, conserving land, and strengthening citizen advocacy.Support Type:

Nina Santos
Nina Santos is a Ph.D. student at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. For her dissertation, she is focused on small shrimp-like crustaceans called mysids – an understudied yet important part of many estuarine and coastal food webs.
Featured Research Project
Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
