> " The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is gearing up 
> for the 6th year of sampling by Stream Waders, the volunteer 
> component of the statewide Maryland Biological Stream Survey 
> (MBSS). Since 2000, about 700 Stream Waders volunteers have 
> sampled aquatic invertebrates at over 2,900 stream sites and 
> we'd love to have you join us in 2005. This year Assawoman 
> Bay is one of five State special priority watersheds as a 
> part of the Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) 
> program. These five watersheds will be the focus of DNR and 
> county government efforts to analyze current watershed 
> conditions and identify portions of watersheds (including 
> streams) in need of restoration or protection. Aquatic 
> invertebrate samples collected by Stream Waders will help DNR 
> assess stream quality in areas prioritized by county planning 
> and water quality staff. Maryland Biological Stream Survey 
> crews will return in the summer to sample fish at sites 
> previously sampled by Stream Waders volunteers. Please see 
> the Stream Waders web site at 
> http://www.dnr.state.md.us/streams/mbss/mbss_volun.html for 
> lots of information on the Program.
> 
> The last Streamwaders survey in the Coastal Bays watershed 
> occurred in 2001. Results from that survey indicated that all 
> 43 stream sites were ranked as being in "poor" condition. 
> Assawoman - 2 sites - both poor Chincoteague - 20 sites - all 
> poor Isle of Wight Bay - 18 sites all poor
> Sinepuxent- 3 sites - all poor
> 
> This year it is important to more thoroughly assess and 
> expand the sampling in Assawoman Bay in particular. MCBP will 
> reimburse travel expenses to citizens who would be willing to 
> attend the Maryland DNR Stream Waders training session on 
> February 26, 2005 at Washington College in Chestertown (Kent 
> County). The training session will run from 9 AM to 3:30 PM. 
> To register or receive more information, contact Carol Cain
