Part of the National Estuary Program, the Coastal Bays Program is a partnership among the towns of Ocean City and Berlin, National Park Service, Worcester County, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Maryland Departments of Natural Resources, Agriculture, Environment, and Planning, which have come together to produce the first ever management plan for the coastal bays.
Established in 1987 under the Clean Water Act, the National Estuary Program was developed to protect economically and environmentally sensitive estuaries across the United States by engaging all user groups.

Great people and plenty of great opportunities to learn about our coastal areas. Very organized in running volunteer programs like the Horseshoe Recovery as well.

Great organization to volunteer with learning and cleaning up the coastal shore as well as support local wildlife and environmental conservation. For example, paddled creek courtesy of Ayer Creek Adventures to Lewis Road Kayak Launch (open to public with parking) to clear wisteria.

My family of 5, kids ages 8,11, and 15 had a great time paddle boarding! The staff was very friendly and helpful! We will be back next year 👍🏻
