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 URL:https://mdcoastalbays.org/event/horseshoe-crabs/ LOCATION:Maryland CATEGORIES:Events,Outreach,Programs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210401 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210501 DTSTAMP:20260522T175731 CREATED:20210115T005901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210601T162723Z UID:1388-1617235200-1619827199@mdcoastalbays.org SUMMARY:Give-A-Day for the Bays:Bay Beautifications DESCRIPTION:This springtime!

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.

Maybe that takes the form of a diary\, memory book\, or simply just taking notes. When we journal\, we preserve thoughts\, inquires\, and memories. But one of the most beneficial things to come out of journaling is the gift of slowing down. As humans\, we are constantly exploring\, and all that exploration starts with observation and questioning. Field\, or nature journaling allows us to cultivate curiosity\, focus attention\, and gives space of reflection on those amazing observations. In this video\, we encourage you to join MCBP Education Coordinator\, Liz Wist\, as she embarks on one of her favorite activities\, nature journaling!  Participants will be lead through a series of tools and tips to use field journaling as a practice in exploration. They will also be introduced to a variety of journaling activities they can conduct right in their backyards. Nature journaling is for all ages. Happy journaling! \nClick here to access the video. \n\niNaturalist: \niNaturalist is a long-term biodiversity study that is fueled by citizen science data. Simply\, that means that ANYONE can submit a photo observation of a plant or animal to the database\, and that helps scientists track and monitor species. MCBP has started their own project on iNaturalist. This project is open to anyone to join\, and it allows our organization to build an inventory of Coastal Bays species! If you are under 13\, you need guardian permission. \nThe attached video describes how to become part of this group in detail.

Community exposure broadens public knowledge\, and this knowledge helps ensure commitment to the longevity of those projects and support for future projects. This mindset inspired an education and volunteer involvement series in 2017 titled\, “Discover Your Watershed”. This public series introduces participants to public and private restoration sites in the Coastal Bays watershed\, while providing restoration and educational hands-on activities such identifying macroinvertebrates\, removing invasive species\, and planting wetlands.

Community exposure broadens public knowledge\, and this knowledge helps ensure commitment to the longevity of those projects and support for future projects. This mindset inspired an education and volunteer involvement series in 2017 titled\, “Discover Your Watershed”. This public series introduces participants to public and private restoration sites in the Coastal Bays watershed\, while providing restoration and educational hands-on activities such identifying macroinvertebrates\, removing invasive species\, and planting wetlands. Check out our volunteer calendar for this year’s events. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n\nThe second Discover Your Watershed event of 2020 will be an invasive invasion adventure!
