Did you know an oyster can filter 50 gallons of water per day? EC is partnering with the Department of Natural Resources to expand the “Marylanders Grow Oysters” program along the La Trappe and San Domingo Creeks. EC will raise oysters at its pier, as well as distribute cages of spat to other shoreline residents and businesses. Maintenance of the cages is minimal. Participants are asked to periodically clean the spat by dunking or rinsing the cages. After nine months, EC and participants will release the oysters at a nearby sanctuary.
To volunteer your pier for the “Marylanders Grow Oysters” program, please contact Jessica Lister at restorewetlands@wetland.org . |

Environmental Concern hosted the Choptank Trib Team annual Wade-In at San Domingo Park in St. Michaels. Delegates Addie Eckhardt and Jeannie Haddaway and DNR Ass’t Secretary, led a large and enthusiastic group into the water of San Domingo Creek. Using the “Sneaker Index”, the group tested water clarity by wading into the creek to a depth at which they could no longer see their white tennis shoes. Mike Billick, DNR, confirmed the 2009 visibility at 24” – establishing the new benchmark for the Choptank Wade-In.
