Cohesion Coherence

What is the culture/literacy/Discourse you are studying? (an overview).

The ethnographic study will revolve around the Chesapeake Bay located mainly in Maryland. The culture surrounding this area involves businesses that rely on the lay of the land and the resources at their disposal. These businesses have depended upon the Chesapeake Bay to provide seafood, access and tourist appeal since the establishment of the state. One important distribution inlet from the bay, the Inner Harbor, is located in Baltimore and serves as a testament to the importance of the water source on the local and regional economy. The culture and history surrounding this area support the environmental efforts to keep the bay prosperous. A unique discourse in the individuals can be observed for this area, which has found its way into sports culture and the up-and-coming entertainment culture of the city.
