Damn, No Grass in The Magothy
 
Sure the "other" kind of grass is still growing around the Magothy but this is really bad news...

http://www.capitalgazette.com/maryla...3a5436a29.html

Last couple of years were poor but this is really the first time no grass has been found...At least with some grass it could protect the growth around the edges...But this situation is really bad for a large sized river that has to compete with all of the pollution coming from Baltimore, the area around the river, etc...

This will only make catching fish, crabs, you name it, much harder in the future....
Get your kids out there now...In 20 years in might not be close to the same that we know today, it is already completely different than 20 years ago...

That is amazing. Ratings of -D for the past 2 years didn't get their attention. Maybe the "F" rating will motivate them.

We just need to raise taxes a little more, and charge a few more fees and things will get better in no time.

If we just. had. more. money. :eek:

Possible solutions include halting development near the river and increasing efforts to grow oysters and mussels. Volunteers also plan to grow floating grasses along docks and shorelines. These plants are intended to suck nutrients from the water.

Well no Effing **** Sherlock. But please, oh please tell me why the county and state just allowed a new development of well over 100 new homes at the headwaters of Deep Creek, which is a decent size tributary of the Magothy close to the bay?

I have to get a permit and supply a buffer management plan to cut down a dying tree within 1000' of the water.
:mad:
But 1,000 new people living on the water's edge won't have an impact I guess.....

Marty the Rain barrel thing is already implemented. All new construction gutters must be ran into a catch system underground a filtered into a drain field / leach system.......

You have your girl Jannet Owens to thank. Messing with Zoning has opened pandors box. Wonder who was pushing for all the zoning changes. Wow all of the new improved lots generating more improved property taxes yet still no money..... spot go over to the casino and ask them for a few bucks. By the way I don't have bail money when they lock your %*$%& up......
