Funding and events for the year will center around saving our coastal bay birds. Three species of endangered birds make the Maryland coastal bays their home:\n Royal Terns\, Common Terns (yep not so common anymore)\, and the Black Skimmers\n      \n(Photo Credit Bill Hubick) \nSandy\, open beaches are necessary for colonial nesting birds\, as that is the habitat on which they build nests on. Unfortunately\, this habitat is becoming harder to come by in the Maryland coastal bays. Development\, erosion\, and sea-level rise are all factors that have taken away valuable nesting area for these bird species. The islands that dot our coastal bays are the last remaining refuges for these birds because they are ideal habitats mostly devoid of possible predators such as foxes and raccoons and they provide the sandy beaches that are essential to these birds. MCBP is working alongside many partners including the Department of Natural Resources and Audubon Maryland-DC chapter and Delmarva Birding to preserve\, protect and create solutions to protect these birds. \n\n  URL:https://mdcoastalbays.org/event/giving-tuesday-online-event/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201107T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201107T120000 DTSTAMP:20260526T122749 CREATED:20200514T160322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201019T192053Z UID:838-1604741400-1604750400@mdcoastalbays.org SUMMARY:Discover Your Watershed - Showell Nature Preserve - On the Prowl at Showell DESCRIPTION:At MCBP\, we make it a priority to provide opportunities to community members and visitors of all ages to explore and expand their knowledge of our watershed’s restoration properties. 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 final Discover Your Watershed event of 2020 will be an on the prowl at Showell adventure!
