It's Official: Maryland NFC is Live!

It’s official, the Maryland chapter of Native Fish Coalition is up and running! This adds to NFC’s contiguous footprint by filling a previous void and brings the total number of state chapters to 17.

Prior to forming MD NFC, our PA chapter worked with Maryland Department of Natural Resources to post informational signs on the Savage River.

We look forward to continuing to work with MD DNR and other parties to protect, preserve and restore wild native fish…

Special thanks to our MD team: Chair Peter Hatchett, Vice Chair Carl “Butch” Shrake, Secretary Brian Hoover, and members at large Brian Donoway, Matthew Durst-Scarlett, Charles Laffey, Brian Reilly, and Agustin “Gus” Umanzor.

And thanks to National Vice Chair - North Brian Cowden, National chair emily bastian, and technologist ben brunt for their help in regard to getting the md chapter up and running.
