Oyster Aquaculture - Mill Creek and Patuxent River

[saltydogz]

Here is something we got in the mail from the Army Corps of Engineers about someone looking to establish an Oyster Aquaculture in Mill Creek and Patuxent River around Myrtle Point park. From the document, I question the Mill Creek (Latitude: 38°20.128'N Longitude: 076°30.087'W) site as it seems to take up a large part of the anchorage that we (boaters) enjoy there. I have no problems with his other sites just the Mill Creek one.
Location: In Mill Creek and Patuxent River, near Thomas Point and Myrtle Point Park, Hollywood, St. Mary’s County, Maryland.
Description: To establish an aquaculture facility at a site on Mill Creek and two sites on the Patuxent River.

Thought it was worth passing on.

This has been in the local newspaper for probably two years now while those that have filed the permits jump through all the hoops the State has put out there for them...even though the State wants watermen to get into Aquaculture. That's Maryland for you.

You make a good point about anchorages though. Those cages that sit on the bottom full of oysters would obviously be off-limits to that sort of thing.
