A
Good
morning,
everybody
welcome
to
the
second
annual
Baltimore
County,
derelict
Crab
Pot
and
fishing
gear.
Derby
last
year
and
again
this
year,
we're
working
with
our
Partners
in
the
Oyster
recovery
project.
We
gave
them
a
grant
from
our
department,
I
Am
David
Likens
I'm,
the
director
of
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
and
sustainability
in
Baltimore
County.
We
gave
them
a
grant
of
150
000
and
they
hired
some
people
to
go
out
and
do
some
side
scanning
sonar.
A
A
It's
a
win
for
everybody.
It's
a
win
for
the
bay,
it's
a
win
for
the
wooderman,
it's
a
win
for
the
oyster
recovery
partnership
and
it's
a
win
for
Baltimore
County.
We
can't
do
this
by
ourselves.
We've
got
lots
of
Partners
here
with
us
today,
worse
off,
but
we
have
Ward
slake
them
who's.
The
executive
director
of
the
Boost
recovery
project.
A
We
have
Karen
Nguyen
and
Sam
Weaver
from
the
Maryland
waterways
Foundation
from
our
backward
restoration
committee.
We
have
Desiree,
griever
and
Mike
Baumgardner
I
have
up
here
with
us,
Tim
mortis,
who
works
with
the
Maryland
Woodlands
Association
and
I,
don't
see
him
here,
but
we
have
Mr
Miceli,
who
is
the
owner
of
this
Holly
neck
Marina
who's
our
benefactor
and
allowed
us
to
use
his
property.
So
we
want
to
thank
him.
A
lot
for
that.
A
I
also
have
some
some
of
our
employees
who
helped
set
this
up.
We
have
Rob
Ryan
and
we
have
Dave
Ryder
who
worked
with
Ward
to
make
it
happen.
We
have
Tony
Russell
and
Mr
rodericks
from
our
Department
of
Public
Works,
provided
our
dumpsters
and
also
after
meeting
Ward
last
year,
they've
developed
a
agreement
to
put
some
some
barrels
out
at
the
Eastern
sanitary
landfill
for
residential
deposits
of
oyster
shells.
So
we've
worked
that
out.
A
B
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
what
a
beautiful
day
here
in
Baltimore
County.
We
are
thrilled
to
be
extending
and
replicating
this
incredible
program.
I
want
to
thank
Dave
and
his
team
in
depths,
as
well
as
all
of
our
partners,
especially
Ward
at
the
orp,
but
also
thank
you,
Michael
and
all
of
our
Advocates
and
partners
in
keeping
our
our
Bay.
The
treasure
that
it
is
clean
and
invested
in.
B
So
we're
excited
to
be
back
here
today
replicating
this
program,
where
we
are
partnering
with
the
oyster
recovery
program
to
in
the
partnership
to
really
go
in
and
take
out
these
derelict
crab
pots
and
other
other
gear
I
understand.
We
actually
may
have
had
a
porta
potty
pulled
out
already
as
well
this
year.
So,
but
we
are
really
excited
that.
Last
year
we
mapped
over
2
000
acres
and
recovered
over
2
300
pieces
of
derelict
gear
from
the
Patapsco,
the
mouth
of
the
Patapsco.
B
We're
proud
that
orp
in
Baltimore
County
we're
working
with
local
watermen
to
really
keep
people
working
in
the
off
season.
To
also
do
the
benefit.
It's
estimated
that
over
a
million
Aquatic
Life
throughout
the
bay
are
lost
when
they're
trapped
in
these
derelict
pieces
of
gear,
and
so
we're
excited
that
we're
going
to
expand
by
50
to
over
3000
acres
of
coverage
this
year.
B
We
want
to
thank
all
of
our
partners
for
making
this
possible
and
Ward
I
also
want
to
just
thank
you,
for
you
know,
Dave
mentioned
it,
but
not
only
are
we
replicating
this
incredible
program
to
pull
out
derelict
gear,
we're
also
moving
forward
with
you
to
have
residential
drop
off
at
the
Eastern
sanitary
landfill
for
oysters,
and
so
we're
going
to
also
create
additional
habitat
for
this
critical
filter
for
our
Bay,
while
also
diverting
even
more
oysters
and
that
out
of
our
landfill.
So.
B
Be
more
excited
to
be
here
with
all
of
you
today,
thanks
to
everyone
for
coming
together
to
make
this
possible
moving
forward.
Baltimore
County
will
continue
to
look
for
innovative
ways
to
just
maintain
this.
This
incredible
treasure
that
we
have
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay
I
do
want
to
Echo
director
likens's
thanks
to
our
our
other
departments
as
well.
This
is
not
just
an
Epps
thing.
This
is
also
Public
Works
and
transportation
for
taking
the
material
and
moving
it
out,
but
it's
what
we
do
in
Baltimore
County.
B
D
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Baltimore
County
Executive
Johnny,
for
the
continuation
of
this
great
partnership,
the
oyster
recovery
partnership.
One
of
the
primary
parts
of
our
mission
is
to
really
to
promote
sustainable
fishing
practices,
of
which
you
know
working
with
Waterman
working
with
Partners.
D
To
you
know,
to
help
us
try
to
improve
our
Seafood
industry
is
really
one
of
our
primary
goals
also
would
like
to
thank
David
Ryder,
who
had
reached
out
to
me
several
years
ago
with
an
interest
in
this
project,
and
you
know
it's
helped
us
sort
of
build
this
partnership
here
in
Baltimore.
County
orp
has
a
long-standing,
basically
a
long-standing
goal
of
using
tradition
and
science
to
blend
to
really
work
and
try
to
have
successful
projects
within
the
Chesapeake
Bay.
This
is
definitely
one
of
those
projects
that
has
been
highly
successful.
D
It
takes
a
partnership
to
accomplish
I'd,
also
like
to
to
give
a
shout
out
to
to
Mike
Maselli,
who
is
the
owner
of
of
this
Marina.
Not
all
of
the
watermen
that
are
participating
in
this
project
here
today
actually
live
nearby,
so
there's
a
required
infrastructure
to
manage
and
Implement
a
project
like
this,
so
they
have
allowed
the
watermen
who
are
part
of
this
project,
the
ability
to
tie
up
here
at
their
Marina
while
we're
doing
while
we're
doing
work
in
this
area.
So
thanks
for
that,
just
a
couple
details
about
this
partnership.
D
As
the
executive
said,
it's
been
ongoing
for
a
couple
years
we're
here
last
year
we
did
work
off
of
North
Point
State
Marina
at
the
mount
Pasco,
where
we
had
mapped
about
2
000
Acres
of
habitat
using
side
scan
sonar
so
again
gets
back
to
that
blend
of
Science
and
tradition,
and
we
used
high
level
technology
to
identify
derelict
traps.
We
worked
with
watermen.
We
had
hired
15
Waterman
vessels
last
year
to
go
out
and
work
for
six
days
where
we
recovered
nearly
2
300
pieces
of
derelict
debris.
Most
of
those
were
dearly
crab
traps.
D
This
year,
we've
mapped
about
3,
000,
Acres,
using
side
scan
sonar
off
of
adjacent
to
Heart,
Miller
Island
and
again
we
have
partnered
with
our
Waterman
Community.
We've
hired
15
vessels
they're
out
there.
We
would
like
to
work
for
another
six
days
to
to
do
the
derelict
trap,
retrieval
work
and
and
in
those
three
thousand
acres
for
another
six
days.
At
this
point,
I'm
happy
to
say,
they've
been
out
for
three
days.
I
think
today
is
the
fourth
day
and
they
pulled
out
nearly
800
or
nearly
a
thousand
pieces
of
derelict
fishing
gear.
D
At
this
point,
most
of
those
are
likely
traps
and
you
can
see
those
behind
us
on
the
vessel
and
also
in
in
those
dumpsters.
So
again
with
that.
This
is
a
very
long-standing
and
important
project
for
us
to
do
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay.
We
appreciate
the
partnership
with
Baltimore
County
and
we
also
appreciate
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
our
with
our
local
watermen
we'd
like
to
thank
them
for
their
efforts
as
well
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
Dave.
E
Maryland
Waterman's
Association
would
like
to
thank
orp
Baltimore
County
Marina
owners
for
this
program.
Although
no
one
wants
to
lose
any
of
these,
it
does
happen,
and
this
is
a
great
program.
It's
win-win
for
both
sides.
The
bay
gets
cleaned
up
and
the
guys
and
the
boats
get
to
work
and
it
really
Bridges
the
gap
between
seasons.
For
us.
Thank
you.
A
I
believe
the
county
executive
said
that
there's
an
estimate
there's
about
a
million
Aquatic
Life.
It's
not
just
crabs.
It's
crabs!
It's
the
fish
to
go
in
crafts,
go
in
after
the
fish,
they
all
die.
They
can't
get
back
out,
there's
other
things
that
get
in
there.
There's
Turtles,
but
overall,
throughout
the
day,
I
think
there's
an
estimate
of
about
a
million
per
year
and
who
does
that.
C
Estimate
so
it
varies,
there's
different
studies
that
have
been
done
excuses
and
there's
something
that
we'll
put
in
a
press
release
that
references,
a
study
out
of
Virginia,
where
I
can
don't
quote
me
because
it's
in
the
release
but
I
feel
like
it
was
3.3
million,
but
we'll
send
that
to
you.
Okay
and
it
varies
by
study.
