From: Resilient Planet Mission 3: Paradise Lost
History: On the Trail of Captain John Smith

In 1608, Captain John Smith was renowned as an entrepreneur, explorer, adventurer, and elected president of the Jamestown colony. But did you also know he was a warrior, prisoner of war, slave, escape artist, deposed leader, and target of assassination? Learn more about the exciting travels of this man as he explored more than 3,000 miles of the area we know now as the Chesapeake Bay. From his detailed accounts of the abundance of organisms he encountered, to his detailed maps, his legacy lives on today. Then, try your hand at collecting detailed data, but with the help of a modern tool: NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System. How does your data stack up to John Smith's?
