The bill will now be presented to the full Senate for a vote. Please take the time to share with your Senator how important the proper management of our natural resources are to you by sending a short email urging their support of SB 937.

SB 937 is an important step forward to ensure that our oyster resources are managed based on science, and consistent with current fisheries management statute. Through a joint effort of many organizations, Senators, and legislative staff, the bill has been amended from its original form, and will provide valuable information for future oyster management in Maryland.
