aquatic plants for habitat are in serious decline. When an algae bloom dies off and decomposes, the decomposition process depletes the supply of oxygen in the water, a further degradation of habitat for of fish and other creatures living in the Bay.
Currently in the Rappahannock River Watershed, many land-users are operating under the guidance of a nutrient management plan. Nutrient management planning is a service offered throughout the watershed by several public and private sources. The Commonwealth has been successful in the past in realizing conservation oriented goals through the use of voluntary-based approaches.
Fortunately, this activity is still a voluntary opportunity, and not a regulatory requirement for Virginia land-users. Persons interested in developing a nutrient management plan for their operation may contact the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District at (540) 825-8591.
