Establish a Chesapeake National Recreation Area

The Surfrider Foundation Ocean City, MD chapter has joined the Coalition for a Chesapeake National Recreation Area, an effort led by the Chesapeake Conservancy. We believe the establishment of this national recreation area — which will include a collection of parks and other public lands in the Bay area — will help protect one of our state’s most precious natural resources and provide more opportunities for Bay access and recreation for all. For the Bay to be included within the National Park system will bring national recognition and awareness of the the Bay’s beauty and also the need to protect it. The Surfrider DC Chapter is also helping with this campagin.
