The headwaters of the Tred Avon River start as just a trickle outside Easton and lead directly to Oxford, a maritime community with water on three sides. One of the oldest towns in America, it was one of the first ports in the state of Maryland, and boats still sometimes outnumber cars. Bring your car, your bike, or even just your own two feet aboard the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, the oldest privately owned continuously operating ferry in the United States. It’s been making its scenic journey across the Tred Avon since 1683. For a more hands-on experience, rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the surrounding creeks and inlets. Stake out a space at the small beach on the Tred Avon, where gentle waves attract frolicking families. There’s also a public park with large shade trees, picnic tables, and swings overlooking the water right at the center of town. And you can ogle everything from skiffs to yachts at a clutch of boatyards and marinas. Sweet Treat Order a scoop of homemade ice cream at Scottish Highland Creamery, which puts more than 600 flavors into rotation. They’re rated one of the best ice cream shops in America by TripAdvisor and Best of the Eastern Shore for 10 years in a row.

  • Oyster Futures
    Recommendations for Oyster Management and Restoration in the Choptank and Little Choptank Rivers A Report Submitted to Secretary Belton, Maryland Department of Natural Resources By the OysterFutures Stakeholder Workgroup May 14, 2018 Although the location of this oyster shell pile is not known, this image often has been used to symbolize the historic abundance of oysters in Chesapeake Bay and the many people that they supported. The orange triangle indicates a large pile of shell in Maryland today. Image credit: Cooperative Oxford Laboratory Library. The Back Story One hundred years ago, oysters in Maryland formed the bedrock of local economies and a healthy and thriving Chesapeake Bay. Today, oysters and the oyster industry are a shell of what they used to be. More oysters are needed to restore the resource and ecosystem, protect and enhance our oyster industry, and preserve Maryland’s cultural heritage. Yet, the path to a more productive future is not clear and conflict has slowed forward progress. This research program, OysterFutures, offers a solution by testing a new process for creating policies and regulations that are designed to increase oysters, benefit the ecosystem, and sustain and grow our oyster industry. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The OysterFutures research program would not have been possible without the valuable time and effort of the people on the Stakeholders Workgroup. We appreciate their dedication and their weekends, including Super Bowl Sunday. We are grateful to the National Science Foundation for funding the OysterFutures program, and to the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) Horn Point Laboratory for logistical support. Special thanks to the professional independent facilitators from Florida State University’s FCRC Consensus Center who developed the Consensus Solutions process and facilitated the nine OysterFutures workgroup meetings.

  • FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CHESAPEAKE BAY OYSTER RECOVERY, PIANKATANK RIVER, VIRGINIA TABLE of CONTENTS 1.0 Project Purpose and Need
    _______________________________________ FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CHESAPEAKE BAY OYSTER RECOVERY, PIANKATANK RIVER, VIRGINIA _______________________________________ Prepared by: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District Planning and Policy Branch Environmental Analysis March 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this document is to analyze the environmental impacts of the project identified as Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery, Piankatank River, Virginia. This restoration project is located in the lower Piankatank River at its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay. As a component of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chesapeake Bay Oyster Restoration program, this project is authorized by Section 704(b) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, as amended. The ultimate goal of the program is to restore abundant, self-sustaining oyster populations in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. The objective of this project is to construct new reef habitat and rehabilitate existing reef habitat in the Piankatank River to closely resemble natural conditions, in terms of structure and function, in a technically and economically sound manner. The project area is located in Middlesex and Mathews counties at the mouth of the Piankatank River where it discharges into the Chesapeake Bay proper. The Piankatank River is a medium-sized river located south of the Rappahannock River and north of the York River in the Middle Peninsula region of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The entire project area occurs on subaqueous land owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and managed by the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC). The project will consist of the construction of approximately 200 acres of new oyster reef habitat in the Piankatank River between approximately 6-12 feet Mean Low Low Water (MLLW).

  • Calvert Marine Museum Gallery Guide
    Calvert Marine Museum Gallery Guide ESTUARIUM Background and Theme —The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary comprised of many different habitats. Although these habitats may appear very different in appearance, they are all interlinked and would function poorly without the others. In this gallery we explore some of these habitats and the aquatic life they support. Open Waters of the Chesapeake.—The bay can be thought of as a highway, with seasonal visitors migrating to and from the ocean to feed or spawn. You may be surprised to learn that only 10% of the bay’s fish species spend their entire lives in the estuary. A 3500 gallon aquarium exhibits some of the permanent and seasonal species. SAV—Submerged Aquatic Vegetation beds are one of the bay’s more important habitats. These underwater plants provide critical habitat for young fish and crabs to avoid predators. Sediment and nutrient pollution have substantially reduced this habitat which in turn has led to fewer fish and crabs reaching adulthood. Bottom Life—The bottom of the Chesapeake is a very dynamic environment that changes throughout the year. Oysters are one of the better known members of this “benthic community”. Huge oyster reefs of the past kept the water very clear due to their capacity to filter out algae. Decreasing oyster populations from over harvesting and disease have caused the bay to become much cloudier. Oyster reefs are also home to many species that use them for refuge. Be sure to look at the small oyster reef on display in the tank in order to see the diversity of life which occurs in an oyster bar.

  • REVISED 2/13/17 Attachment 1
    1.0. Project Description The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) is proposing conducting a project to acquire old oyster shell at Man-O-War shoals in the upper Chesapeake Bay and assess the impacts of this proposed project. The purpose of this project is to acquire oyster shell that can be used in several ways to restore oyster populations and oyster fisheries in the Bay. Shell may be used to improve existing oyster bars to enhance natural recruitment, to provide a foundation for hatchery-spawned seed oysters deployed to encourage reestablishment of an abundant and self-sustaining oyster population, to provide substrate for leased bottom in support of aquaculture, and to provide substrate needed to sustain oyster fisheries in Maryland. All of these efforts are components of recommendations of the Chesapeake Bay Program’s 2000 Agreement, the Maryland Oyster Advisory Commission, the 2005 Oyster Management Plan, President Obama’s 2009 executive order to restore and protect Chesapeake Bay, Maryland’s 2010 oyster restoration and aquaculture development plan, and the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and are necessary to implement the preferred alternative specified in the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Oyster Restoration in Chesapeake Bay Including the Use of a Native and/or Nonnative Oyster (USACE et al. 2009). Furthermore, Executive Order 13508 Strategy for Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake Bay Watershed established a goal of restoring oyster populations in 20 tributaries of Chesapeake Bay by 2025. The new draft 2014 Chesapeake Bay Agreement is considering a goal of 10 tributaries (5 in Maryland and 5 in Virginia).
