Kayaks at the South River Wade-in

The Lower Western Shore Team and the South River Federation teamed up again to hold their Annual Wade-In and Paddle. Over 40 kayakers made their way through the headwaters of the South River down to Edgewater Beach where the wade-in was held. Edgewater Beach is in the middle of a restoration project where volunteers are adding rock buffers to the beach and replacing sand. For this reason the wade-in results were not true to the progress being made there.

Spa & Back Creek Wade-In

The 5th Annual Wade-In for both Back Creek and Spa Creek was held on June 11th at Annapolis Maritime Museum and Truxtun Park. Annapolis Mayor Ellen Moyer led the wade-ins with, other elected officials, trib team members, volunteers and local citizens following suit. The group waded 27 inches before they could no longer see their feet in both Creeks. Coffee was provided by Chesapeake Bay Roasting. "We have focused a great deal of energy and resources in shoreline stabilization, stormwater management, and watershed restoration," Mayor Moyer said. "The work of volunteers, who have leveraged them into action plans and projects, has been nothing short of phenomenal."
