SUMMARY:Give-A-Day for the Bays:Horseshoe Crabs
DESCRIPTION:This month we honor the Horseshoe Crabs\, have you seen them at the beach yet? \nMCBP assists the Department of Natural Resources with an annual horseshoe survey. Click here for more details. \nJune marks the beginning of spawning season for these amazing prehistoric inhabitants of our waterways. And this species has been saving our lives for decades. Their blood reacts strongly to bacterial infections and is used to test for bacterial contamination of medical equipment-like that syringe that gave you your covid shot. \nRight now the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Atlantic horseshoe crab as ‘vulnerable’\, just one step below endangered. \nSo for this month\, and for the rest of the summer\, you can help horseshoe crabs in you own small way. If you find one on the beach that’s been flipped upside down\, turn it righ side up so it can go on its way. For creatures that have been saving our lives for decades\, it’s the least we can do. \nCheck out the  Just flip ’em!™ program.  It is a great program designed to bring attention to the hundreds of thousands of horseshoe crabs (Limulus polyphemus) who die each year from stranding (stuck upside down) during their yearly spawning ritual and to encourage individuals\, through a simple act of compassion\, to take the time to assist and appreciate these remarkable creatures. \nJust flip ’em™ Program – Horseshoe Crab

SUMMARY:Give-A-Day to the Bays:Market Madness
DESCRIPTION:It’s Market Madness Month – Support your local farmer markets and watermen \n\nAs we head into Spring\, for this month’s “Give-A-Day” back to MCBP\, we encourage you to explore our watershed’s local farmer and seafood markets for your spring and summer cravings! \nWhen possible\, buying food from local sources is a great way to reduce environmental impact. Local farmers and watermen implement practices that show care and commitment to protecting our local environment while providing the community with safe and accessible food options. Our encouragement for you this month is to simply explore the local food source options around you and attempt to engage with the local farmers who may be your very own neighbor! Included below is a link to MCBP’s Living Local project – an environmental education initiative designed to educate the community about the beneficial environmental impacts of sustainable farming practices and encourage the consumption of local products. Below you will also find a list of local markets\, this list is not comprehensive\, and we encourage you to explore all of the potential market options near you! \nPlease visit: https://mdcoastalbays.org/the-programs/education/community-programs-and-resources/living-local/ to learn about five local farms and where to find their products and contact information. \n  \nLocal Farmer’s Markets \nOcean Pines Farmers and Artisan Market \nWhite Horse Park\, Ocean Pines\, MD \nYear Round \nSaturdays \n9:00am – 1:00pm through March 27 \n8:00am – 1:00pm beginning April 3 \n\nCamden Avenue Farmers Market \n1401 Camden Avenue\, Salisbury\, MD \nYear Round \nTuesdays\, 2:30 – 5:30 pm \n\nBerlin Farmers Market \nPitts and Commerce St.\, Berlin\, MD \nMay – September \nSundays\, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm \n\nLocal Seafood \nMartin Fish Co. \n12929 Harbor Road\, Ocean City\, MD \n410-213-2195 \nSeaborn \n12906 Harbor Road\, Ocean City\, MD \nThursday-Sunday 443-235-3448 or 443-397-2216 \nSkilligalee Seafood \nWest Ocean City Harbor \n443-235-1489
