We can’t be everywhere, and your input is invaluable in keeping our rivers healthy. Some of the issues our Riverkeepers have mitigated include: • Critical Area Violations in Denton (Choptank River) and on the Wye River: Waterfront property owners clear cutting trees without a permit and without a mitigation plan. • Tree Removal and Inadequate Erosion Controls (Miles River): Trees were cut and cleared along a drainage ditch in the right-of-way of a state road and the disturbed site was inadequately stabilized and no mitigation plan was executed. • Recurring Oil Leaks in Bellevue Marina (Choptank River): Reports of recurring oil sheens in and around the Bellevue Marina along the Tred Avon River. • Industrial Dredge Permit (Choptank River): Permit review and public hearing for a dredge permit near Easton Point along the Tred Avon River. • Sunken Derelict Boat (Choptank River): Abandoned boat sinks and leaks fuel at property owner’s dock along MRC advocates have been working in this year’s Tuckahoe Creek. legislative session to support a number of key • Four Seasons Development in Critical Area (Kent provisions including the following: Narrows): Proposed development in the Critical Area and Oyster Fisheries Management Bill—would the destruction of tidal wetlands. prohibit DNR from opening up sanctuaries for • Industrial Groundwater Permit (Choptank River): Permit harvest until the scientific stock assessment, review and public hearing for an industrial groundwater required under last year’s Sustainable Oyster discharge permit in Tuckahoe Creek watershed.

This grant was then supplemented by a matching grant of $292,587 from Queen Anne’s County. This suite of projects includes a wetland restoration, bioretention facilities that filter stormwater, and a stream restoration that will reduce erosion caused by flow from both impervious surfaces on the campus and from agricultural fields on both sides of Route 50, improving water quality in the Wye River. photo credit: Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay It is scheduled for completion in 2018. hEnvision the Choptank: Collaborative Restoration for Oyster Success Envision the Choptank is a collaborative initiative with the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy and eight other partners to develop solutions that ensure the long-term sustainability of native oyster reefs, and support a fishable, swimmable Choptank River. With $226,582 in funds from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation and matching sources, the grant partners will determine locations in the watersheds of Broad Creek, Harris Creek and the Tred Avon River where land-based restoration will provide the greatest water quality benefits. We will also increase implementation of agricultural and residential best management practices.

  • Report Card 2017 Midshore Rivers
    Report Card 2017 Midshore Rivers 114 South Washington Street Suite 301 Easton, MD 21601 shorerivers.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ShoreRivers is pleased to release this eighth annual River Report Card regarding the Choptank, Miles and Wye Rivers, Eastern Bay, and their tributaries. This is produced from data collected by our scientists, Riverkeepers, and approximately 50 volunteer Midshore Creekwatchers who together sampled at over 100 sites from May to October 2017. I am pleased to report that the results are in line with those from the past two years, reflecting improved water clarity, expanding grass beds, and reduced or stable pollution concentrations for many sampling locations. The year 2017 had wet and dry months and the data correlated to these weather trends. Months with increased rainfall washed from the land pollutants such as sediments and fertilizers into our rivers, an important indicator that river pollution comes from the surrounding land. As in years past, our organization has been heavily involved in installing pollution- reducing practices across our watersheds that are contributing to improved river health. As many of you know, Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy merged January 1, 2018 with the Chester River Association and the Sassafras River Association to become ShoreRivers, employing four Riverkeepers and a staff of twenty river advocates. We are in the process of developing a uniform program including a quality assurance project plan (QAPP) that will meet the standards set forth by the state and federal government for Tier III status so that our data will be acceptable to state and federal agencies for consideration in policy decision-making.

In all, more than 35 pro- fessionals, including professors and students representing six universities, American Indian representatives, consultants, public agency representatives, and community leaders contributed to this report. Each person brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge, keen insight and a personal devotion to the project. We are especially grateful for the generous financial support that we received from the following private foundations, organizations and corporate partners: The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Clay- ton Fund, Inc., Colcom Foundation, The Conservation Fund, Lockheed Martin, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Merrill Foundation, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Rauch Foundation, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, Verizon, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. Without their support this project would simply not have been possible. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the board of directors of the Chesapeake Conser- vancy, and to John Maounis, Superintendent of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Trail.

    Phase I, II and III Investigations of Wye Hall (18QU977), Queen Anne’s County, Maryland, for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. By Jennifer J. Babiarz, Amelia Chisholm, and Mark P. Leone Department of Anthropology University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 Principal Investigators Mark P. Leone and Jennifer J. Babiarz Department of Anthropology University of Maryland College Park, Maryland 20742 Report Prepared for The Maryland Department of Natural Resources 580 Taylor Avenue Tawes State Office Building Annapolis, MD 21401 Archaeology in Annapolis A Cooperative Project between The University of Maryland at College Park, The Banneker-Douglass Museum, and The City of Annapolis 2008 Abstract This report describes a three years of investigations to further define the archaeological resources of the privately owned Wye Hall plantation (18QU977), late 18th century home of William Paca, Maryland governor and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Wye Hall is located on Wye Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Queen Anne‟s County. Past archaeological work at Wye Hall, from 2000 through 2002, revealed extensive information about the design and usage of the original mansion and gardens from William Paca‟s time. The fieldwork documented in this report was centered on investigation of the area to the east of the main mansion, which is believed to be an area of enslaved habitation during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This represents the first recognized Phase III investigation of a slave quarter in Queen Anne‟s County. Therefore, the results are very important for augmenting Maryland‟s Eastern Shore narratives of the past, particularly in relation to the voice and space given to African and African American histories.

  • Cruising Itineraries from Solomons Island, MD
    June 2007 Cruising Itineraries from Solomons Island, MD Just inside the mouth of the Patuxent River, Solomons Island, Maryland is not only one of the top cruising destinations on the Chesapeake Bay, but truly the gateway to cruising the Middle Bay. Whether you’re looking for a daysail or full week’s cruising, we recommend several itineraries to consider in your planning. Most are very “do-able” in a mid-size cruising sailboat with 4-6’ draft. Naturally, your boat, crew skills/interests and the weather all play significant roles in your cruise planning, so flexibility is key. Plan ahead, use up-to- date charts and weather information, and call ahead for local conditions and marina reservations where possible.
