The paddle for water conservation begins.
Watch this! In September 2016 a partnership was formed with the Spa Creek Conservancy. The first ever fundraiser by the Spa Creek Conservancy was held at the marina of Capital SUP at the (SAYC) South Annapolis Yacht Centre. 150 paddlers explored the coves of Spa Creek learning about the conservation and preservation efforts by the SCC while on land you could find the EcoFEST. The event helped to raise over 20K for future water monitoring programs on the Spa Creek. The SCC conducts weekly water monitoring at the docks of Capital SUP, Ego Alley, Hawkins Cove, Truxton Cove, South Cherry Grove, and the Chesapeake Children’s Museum you can find the information at www.spacreek.net
OYSTER RECOVERY PROGRAM
Join the clean water movement.
Suspended along the piers of the South Annapolis Yacht Centre – 50 oyster cages hang into the turbid waters of Spa Creek. Every month volunteers come together to participate in the monthly cleaning of the cages. In the summer when the water warms, algae can foul and suffocate the baby oysters. These cleanings allow baby oyster spat to mature into healthy self-sufficient adults. Mud Crabs, eels, baby blue crabs, skillet fish, blennies, and other sea-worms call this caged oyster reef home. In the summer the 1-year-old oysters are transferred and planted on a historic oyster reef in the Severn River. Special thanks to the Severn River Association, Marylanders Grow Oysters Program, & Oyster Recovery Partnership for the continued education and support in the clean water movement.
