Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy (MRC) will present results from their 2014 Report Card at a State of the Rivers Party on Thursday, June 25 at 5 pm at the Cambridge Yacht Club.
Miles-Wye Riverkeeper Jeff Horstman and Choptank Riverkeeper Matt Pluta, along with other experts and educators from MRC’s staff, will explain and interpret results derived from extensive monitoring done last year. Scientists and MRC’s 50 Creekwatcher volunteers collected water quality samples at over 100 sites in sampling jurisdictions on the Choptank River, Miles River, Wye River, Tred Avon River, Tuckahoe River, Harris Creek, Broad Creek, Island Creek, La Trappe Creek, and Eastern Bay on the southern tip of Kent Island.
The 2013 State of the Rivers reported an overall average score of ‘C’ for that year. The 2014 results reveal whether that grade improved over the past year.
The State of the Rivers Party is free and open to the public. Enjoy the waterfront view from the River Room at the Cambridge Yacht Club located in the scenic, historic city of Cambridge. Light refreshments will be served. (A delicious dinner menu will be available for those who wish to purchase a meal after the State of the Rivers Party.)
