Review of local access projects
The Chesapeake has horrible public access. Bay-wide the NPS estimates 98% of the Chesapeake’s shoreline is off limits to citizens that don’t own waterfront homes or live in water-privileged communities. Those excluded number in the hundreds of thousands in AA County alone. In a county of more that ½ a million residents, there are no public boat ramps or public beaches offered by our county government.
Change is coming. AA County has recognized the problem and cited it as the #1 recreation deficiency. An aggressive improvement plan has been adopted thru the joint efforts of the AAPWAC & AA R&P. An inventory has identified dozens of publicly-owned waterfront locations that can be made available with minimal time & expense.
Please share this notice with friends and ask relevant organizations to include it on their calendars.
