The fully loaded cargo ship that ran aground in the Chesapeake Bay as it left Baltimore nearly two weeks ago is still stuck, and folks who work in Maryland’s seafood industry are worried about the impact it is having on marine life.

The grounded ship, called the Ever Forward, is owned by Evergreen Marine Corp., the same company that blocked the Suez Canal with a stuck ship last year.
