One of only 28 such programs nationwide, the program brings together citizens, local scientists, recreational and commercial fishermen, environmentalists, farmers, business leaders and government officials to create attainable goals for the watershed.
This year program plans include restoration projects of the Bishopville Dam and the Ilia Fehrer Nature Preserve, native plantings in Ocean City and Ocean Pines and citizen science monitoring projects of bay inhabitant counts including seals, terrapin turtles, horseshoe crabs and herons.
Maryland Coastal Bays Program has a host of activities coming up for volunteers including the Earth Day Clean Up and Plantings on Saturday, April 5, property maintenance projects from invasive weeding to path clearings and monofilament recycling.
