The Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) is hosting three public meetings throughout the month of September to provide information and seek public input on the program’s proposed new ten-year management plan beginning in 2025.

The 10-year management plan, referred to as the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP), is MCBP’s strategic plan for actions to be implemented by the Program and its partners over the next decade.

This will be the third plan since the program’s inception. The current plan can be reviewed here

The draft proposed plan includes four key themes, including: providing healthy waters; protecting fish, wildlife and their habitats; enhancing coastal resiliency; and conducting outreach and education to the community.

The three meetings will all be the same other than locations and venues. Please email mcbp@mdcoastalbays.org for any questions or clarifications you may need. Or call Sandi at 410-213-2297 ext 106
