  • American Eel: Collection and Relocation Conowingo Dam, Susquehanna River, Maryland 2016
    American Eel: Collection and Relocation Conowingo Dam, Susquehanna River, Maryland 2016 Chris Reily, Biological Science Technician, MD Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, USFWS Steve Minkkinen, Project Leader, MD Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, USFWS 1 BACKGROUND The American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) is the only species of freshwater eel in North America and originates from the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic Ocean (USFWS 2011). The eels are catadromous, hatching in saltwater and maturing in freshwater before returning to their natal waters to spawn. Larval eels (referred to as leptocephalus larvae) are transported throughout the eastern seaboard via ocean currents where their range extends from Brazil to Greenland. By the time the year-long journey to the coast is over, they have matured into the “glass eel” phase and have developed fins and taken on the overall shape of the adults (Hedgepath 1983). After swimming upstream into continental waters, the 5-8 cm glass eels mature into “elvers” at which time they take on a green-brown to gray pigmentation and grow beyond 10 cm in length (Haro and Krueger 1988). Elvers migrate upstream into estuarine and riverine environments where they will remain as they change into sexually immature “yellow eels”. Yellow eels have a yellow-green to olive coloration and will typically remain in this stage for three to 20 years before reaching the final stage of maturity. The eels may begin reaching sexual maturity when they reach at least 25 cm in length and are called “silver eels”. Silver eels become darker on the dorsal side and silvery or white on the ventral side and continue to grow as they complete their sexual maturation.

  • Carroll County Times “Carroll’S Yesteryears” Articles
    Carroll County Times “Carroll’s Yesteryears” Articles "Defenders' Day Celebration" Carroll County Times article for 13 August 1995 By Jay A. Graybeal September 12th will mark the 181st anniversary of the Battle of North Point, an American victory which was a prelude to the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. The latter attack inspired Francis Scott Key, born in the part of Frederick County that would later become Carroll County, to write the "Star Spangled Banner." A number of local residents participated in the defense of Baltimore and these men were often known as "Old Defenders" later in life. Among them was Jacob Reese (1797-1872), who served as a musician in Capt. William Blizzard's Company, 15th Regiment of Maryland Militia. When Jacob Reese died in 1872, his obituary in the Westminster Democratic Advocate newspaper noted, "Mr. Reese was one of the Defenders of Baltimore, during the attack of the British upon that city, in 1814, and although only about sixteen years of age, he bore his share in that conflict." A brief mention of Jacob Reese's service record can be found in The British Invasion of Maryland, 1812- 1815 written by William M. Marine and edited by former New Windsor resident Louis Henry Dielman. In his forward to a 1965 reprint of the 1913 original edition, Francis F. Beirne wrote of Mr. Dielman. "Contributing to the importance of the history was the collaboration of Louis Henry Dielman, for many years executive secretary and librarian of the Peabody Institute. Mr. Dielman edited the manuscript and added an appendix containing the names of nearly 12,000 soldiers and sailors, natives or citizens of Maryland who served in the war, and the names of their units." Information about the service of nearly 3,000 Frederick County veterans can be found in Frederick County Militia in the War of 1812 by Sallie A.

These comments are submitted on behalf of Blue Water Baltimore, Inc., the Environmental Integrity Project, as well as the other undersigned environmental non-profit organizations. Blue Water Baltimore is a grassroots environmental organization dedicated to restoring the quality of Baltimore’s rivers, streams and Harbor to foster a healthy environment, a strong economy, and thriving communities. Specifically, the Baltimore Harbor WATERKEEPER program of Blue Water Baltimore is dedicated to stopping water pollution in the Baltimore Harbor watershed through the use of advocacy, enforcement, education, and water quality monitoring. Baltimore is one of Maryland’s main industrial centers, and consequently, members of Blue Water Baltimore use and enjoy waterways adversely affected by the industrial stormwater discharges regulated by the Draft Permit, including the Jones Falls, Gwynns Falls and Direct Harbor within the Baltimore Harbor/ Patapsco River watershed and the Herring Run within the Back River watershed. 1 The Environmental Integrity Project (EIP) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for more effective enforcement of environmental laws, with a focus on Clean Water Act (CWA) enforcement in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
