With approximately 10 million people and 3,600 plant and animal species living along, within or near the Chesapeake Bay's shores (not including the millions more using the waterways for recreational and commercial purposes), our entire staff believes in doing  everything possible to preserve America's largest (and the world's third largest) estuary.

The leading threat to the health of the Chesapeake Bay is excess nitrogen and phosphorus pollution - much of which comes from agriculture, sewage treatment plants, runoff from urban and suburban areas, and air pollution from automobiles, factories, and power plants.  Our marina and staff has always (and will continue to) minimize our creation of these pollutants.
