I have become involved with the Severn River Association (SRA) over the past year and now write periodic man-on-the-water articles for their Facebook page. I wanted to make the Snaggedline community aware of a new project and an opportunity for kayakers to help map and sample SAV beds in the Severn. Tom Guay is the SRA communications director. He sent out the following notice this morning. The training session will be held on July 5. Contact Tom if you are interested in helping.

Recruits Wanted: Paddlers For SRA's 'Navy'
Who'd like to get out on the water? Get up close and personal with the fabled underwater grasses known as SAV – submerged aquatic vegetation?
Thanks to a grant from Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Severn River Association (SRA) is recruiting volunteers to monitor nearly 230 acres of grass beds in the Severn River, mostly in and around Round Bay. Time frame for the project is July through early August.
The project requires the our SAV crews to geo-locate the SAV beds identified in the picture below.
We'll be taking samples and identifying the types of SAV we find. We'll also record water temps and visibility of the water in the SAV areas.
SRA will provide the SAV monitoring kits. The SAV crew will provide their own paddle-powered boat vessels, their enterprising spirit and their desire to become citizen scientists.
We're looking for recruits with their own kayaks, canoes, even paddleboards, because most monitoring work will be in shallow water.
Recruits should contact SRA's Tom Guay at ECAlert@gmail.com ASAP.
Training begins July 5.
