Volunteers Hold an Oyster Moving Party
Scenes from the July 28 volunteer effort to move oyster shells and spat from Fishing Creek to a reef in the Chesapeake Bay. Submitted Photos.
By Dick Myers Editor Chesapeake Beach Councilwoman Valerie Bearding called it “a phenomenal effort.” She was talking about the 61 Chesapeake Beach Oyster Cultivation Society (CBOCS)volunteers who on July 28 moved oyster shells and spat from floats under the town’s Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail to a reef in the Chesapeake Bay. The annual moving party from the creek to the Bay has netted 700,000 juvenile oysters being introduced into the Chesapeake Bay to begin what they do best, filtering out pollution and creating a cleaner Bay. This year’s event started at 10 a.m. and included a boy scout troop and members of the town Public Works Department in addition to the CBOCS members. The society is a committee of the town that was formed in 2011 under the leadership of John Bacon. During the town council’s Aug. 19 meeting at which Bacon made his report on this year’s event, he In turn
was praised by the town council for his yeoman effort with CBOCS. Bacon humbly pushed the credit off to those 61 volunteers who did the often dirty but very rewarding work. According to the town website, “CBOCS has taken the total impact of this facility (the trail) well beyond oysters into complete environmental awareness.” Annual field trips for fifth graders in county schools occur in October and November on the trail and the oyster growing areas. Bacon said the school program is considered to be the best oyster education program in the state. Bacon also reported to the town council that on August 11, “CBOCS volunteers made reef balls at the Chesapeake Village Water Tower. These reef balls will be used to identify the expanded oyster bed on the Old Rock Reef in the Bay.” Additional manufacturing is going in this month. Bacon also reported that September 22 will mark the
start of the eighth cycle of oyster growing in Fishing Creek. They will be depositing 100,000 oyster shells in the large rotating cages and moving them to the third rest stop along the trail. Bacon said the shells and spat come from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Piney Pont Hatchery. CBOCS is part of a state-wide oyster recovery program. Bacon also watches over the trail. He reported to the town council that the Route 261 bridge railing will be installed on the walkway before the trail. He said the state’s presentation of the plan Aug. 8 town planning commission meeting and was met with a favorable response. And, Bacon advised that the trail is open every day. He said, “Play nature bingo while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail. dickmyers@countytimes.net

Town Prepares for Second Taste of the Beaches
Scenes from last year’s first taste of the Beaches.
By Dick Myers Editor What happens if you throw a party and no one comes. That fear didn’t materialize as several thousand people descended on Kellams Field in Chesapeake Beach for the first Taste of the Beaches. Now the town is busy preparing for what they hope will be an even bigger and better encore. It seems to have settled in to the Saturday after Labor Day weekend, which this year is September 8th. Councilman Larry Jaworski, who initiated and spearheaded the inaugural effort last year told the town council at its Aug. 19 meeting, “I am excited and a little fearful,” perhaps having some lingering opening-day jitters. Jaworski told the council after the event last year that the one disappointment was the small number of food vendors. That has been tackled and improved upon this year. He said up to then 15 food and drink vendors were on board along with 50 other vendors
.
Music was a successful part of last year’s Taste of the Beaches, and the headliner from then, popular singer/songwriter John Luskey will be returning for an encore performance. He will be joined by Kenny Holmes and grass roots presented by Garrett Music Academy. The kids had plenty to do last year and that Kids Zone will be returning this year with the Chesapeake Mermaid, Fishmobile – Mobile Aquarium, Raptors Eye Live Birds of Prey, photo booth, inflatable slides, face painting ad games. Raffle tickets will also be on sale to benefit Project Echo, a homeless shelter in Prince Frederick. With more people anticipated, Jaworski suggests the attendees park at the North Beach Volunteer Fire Department and take the shuttle bus. The Second Annual Taste of the Beaches will run from1-5 p.m. at Kellams Field; admission is free.

(l to r) Gaby Sarri-Tobar (Chesapeake Climate Action Network), Rev. Dr. Jeannie Marsh (Smithville UMC), and Rev. Matthew Tate (Calvert Interfaith Council Co-President, Emmanuel UMC).
During their August 14, 2018 meeting at Smithville United Methodist Church, the Calvert Interfaith Council was joined by Gaby Sarri-Tobar, intern at Chesapeake Climate Action Network to discuss the upcoming Climate in the Pulpits event scheduled for October 5-7. Chesapeake Climate Action Network is asking faith leaders to consider dedicating their worship service that weekend to the topic of caring for the creation that God has given us. Last year, nearly 70 congregations from diverse faith traditions in the State of Maryland committed to the event, including churches in Calvert County. This takes the form of sermons, presentations, and group discussions. The Calvert Interfaith Council sup-
ports the efforts of Climate in the Pulpits in energizing faith communities to engage in the serious work of creation care. As a response to this, they have begun the work to create space for education and discussion in the coming months that citizens may work together to better understand the problems plaguing the environment and what is being done, especially as it relates to Maryland and Calvert County. If you feel called to partner with the Ccuncil in this endeavor, please email calverinterfaith@gmail.com or visit www.cicmd.u org.

Pat Nutter Reflects on Eigh
Plans on Remaining Active Afte By Dick Myers Editor
Pat Nutter’s decision earlier this year not to seek reelection for a third term as Calvert County Commissioner opened up the seat for several people interested in running but not interested at all in running against the poplar commissioner. His decision has also opened up the flood gates of commentary during the commissioners’ meetings. For Nutter, of Owings, the decision was personal. He had intended to run again and even picked up the filing papers. But his family changed his mind. Nutter considers himself to have been raised in Calvert County even though he was born in Washington, DC and went to parochial elementary school there. His family
had a home on 2nd Street in North Beach so he spent a lot of time there and graduated from Calvert High School. After high school he joined the U.S. Navy Reserves and did furniture repair with Sears. But when he reached the age of 21, when he was old enough, he entered what would be a lengthy career in law enforcement. His first job in law enforcement was with the town of Chesapeake Beach. After several years he moved to the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office. Later he would return to the Twin Beaches to head a combined law enforcement agency and eventually went back to the county sheriff’s office. As a deputy he wound up back in the Twin Beaches, in charge of the resident deputy program when the towns turned to contracting law enforcement with the sheriff’s office.
“I think community policing is my style. I’m like the old Andy Griffith type of guy. Calvert County was a small county then. I’ve just always been the type of guy – easy-going. I treated everybody with respect.” Also, with the sheriff’s office he would develop a unique niche which would propel him to notoriety. Once of his responsibilities was teaching school safety. Realizing that kids had a low attention span, he worked in some magic to teach the lesson. Before he knew it, he was traveling all over the region conducting those lessons mixed with magic, including a presentation to the Presidential staff. He retired from the sheriff’s office in 1998, but after several months, he said, “I got crazy” with boredom, so he agreed to come back as a special deputy for court
security. He left to take a position as code enforcement officer in the Office of Planning and Zoning, his first taste of life inside county government. But the pull of the towns tugged at him again and he took over code enforcement first in Chesapeake Beach and then in North Beach. He left the latter job for his initial successful bid for county commissioner. In code enforcement, he learned, “You have to look at the gray areas. Not everything is black and white. I tried to work things out where everybody is happy. Everybody thinks they won the argument.” Working in government, he said, “I became really interested in government,” as an explanation for his running for county commissioner. “There came a time, like every other candidate running, I thought I knew best and I decided to run
only to find out I as I thought I was “I thought I kn had no idea,” he challenge was lea bers,” the budget pret its line-by-li Administrator Te an immense help nally clicked,” he him to a passion bers, and espec the county’s bond which means mill savings to county “What you are a low-interest cre some things you h for,” he explain such as Northern a new Prince Fre Rescue Squad.

the moment decisions, instead opting to seek out public opinion first. He did that by being constantly out in the public, which sealed the public’s perception of him as a man of the people. Meeting regularly with the retired teachers was just one example he gave of his proactive outreach to the public. Supporting bookmobiles to go to where the people are was another he mentioned during his interview with The County Times on Aug 20. So why, with his level of popularity, did he decide not to run again. He had planned on filing with Steve Weems, since they are close, and Weems couldn’t make it, so he just picked up the filing papers. His daughter, who he is very close to, was adamantly opposed to him running again because he is 75. But he told himself he was in good health. But then he got to thinking that at the end of the next term he would be almost 80. “When does a person know when it’s time?” he asked, a question that often plagues professional athletes. As he was thinking about that he was having dinner with his 16-year-old grandson, who asked, “Why would you do that again? I’m 16 and I can’t keep up with your schedule.” He concluded it was time. “A person should know when it’s time.” He said he was in good health, but it was a gut feeling. “It’s time.” But he quickly adds, “I am not going to drop out of the picture.” His interests fall into several categories, including young adults who are facing some serious decisions. “I would like to shed some light on what I’ve done. I’m not a big educated guy. I don’t have a lot of money.” He said he has done a couple of those programs and felt good about it. He also hopes to spend time working with senior citizens on issues affecting them. And of course, his family is important to him. He was a widower when he married his now wife of 25 years, Millie. He has a daughter, Tracy and son, David (another son passed away). He also has two stepchildren and after counting on his fingers to make sure, reports he has nine grandkids and four great-grandchildren. He still has those magic skills
and still performs occasionally along with his other passion -- music. His real musical taste is with the blues (like the legendary Robert Johnson), but he was talked into joining a bluegrass band that needed a bass player. He now plays regularly with Chris Kinney from Prince Frederick in a duo they call “just Us.” But, he still has a few months left as commissioner and he is using that time for a bully pulpit on things that are bothering him, most notably things he reads on social media and feels are just wrong. For instance, he got an email from a woman complaining about the notorious billboard in Huntngtown and implying countians were un-
educated racists. Regarding his newfound loquaciousness, he said, “I think as commissioner you have to be careful what you say.” One piece of unfinished commissioner business is the update of the comprehensive plan. He feels it would be better to wait for that vote until the new board is sitting, but if the vote does come up, he said he’s inclined to vote against it. “I’m concerned about having everything in place traffic wise.” Nutter said, “Route 231 is a mess,” and if the comprehensive plan update is implemented it would put a lot of fear in people even if at times he feels the traffic concerns are more perception than
reality. “I think the people in this county, regardless of their religious background, their ethnic background, their social likes and dislikes, are just lovely people. I just enjoyed working with the people in this county. There is no doubt when there is someone in need, this county doesn’t look at anything except, this person is in need,” he said. He added that’s why the comments by the woman about the billboard upset him so much. “You’ve got to be kidding me. These people in this county are great!” dickmyers@countytimes.net

CSM Again Earns Military Friendly® Designation The College of Southern Maryland (CSM) has received the 2018 Military Friendly® school designation from Victory Media for the fourth consecutive year. Military Friendly schools are considered top-tier educational institutions that provide the best opportunities for military service members and their spouses. CSM is one of the largest providers of educational services for current and former service members and their families in Maryland. Military/veteran students represent approximately 10 percent of CSM’s total enrollment. “CSM takes pride in assisting veterans and military-dependent students as they work toward their educational goals,” said CSM President Dr. Maureen Murphy. “We appreciate once again being acknowledged for that ongoing commitment.” The college is approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Maryland Higher Education Commission, which allows eligible veterans, service members and certain dependents to receive VA educational benefits for credit certificate and associate
degree programs. CSM’s outreach to veterans includes the CSM Student Veterans Organization and a lounge where student veterans can gather to study and socialize. The college has also hired veterans affairs coordinators to advise students. The Military Friendly® school designation comes from Victory Media, which surveys thousands of institutions and assembles information that is provided to service members and their families, helping them select the best college where they can receive the education and training needed to pursue a career in the civilian workforce. Schools are evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey completed by the school. Student survey data was also taken into consideration for the designation. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey scores with the assessment of the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student
veterans. More than 1,400 schools participated in the survey, with 941 schools earning the designation. For more information, visit https://MilitaryFriendly.com. For information on CSM’s Vet-
eran and Military Support Services, visit www.csmd.edu/student-services/ veteran-military-support-services/
The CalvertHealth Foundation recently awarded scholarships to 25 students pursuing higher education in an allied health or medical field. The students were honored with a ceremony this summer. Since the program began in 1991, it’s awarded more than 425 scholarships totaling $540,000 in student assistance. Theresa Johnson, Executive Director for the Foundation, said, “Our 2018 scholarship recipients are a group of extraordinary individuals. We are proud to have such a diverse group of people interested in health care, some pursuing advancement in their careers and others who are in the beginning of their educational journey.” This year’s group included 23 students from Calvert and two from St. Mary’s. Although the majority are pursuing careers in nursing, others are working towards their educational goals in physical therapy and dentistry. Foundation Board Chair Lynette Entzian said,” The Foundation is proud to award more than
$65,000 in scholarships this year to local students who have worked hard to earn this award.” Among the recipients was Carleigh Bartholomew who gave a moving speech at the reception. Bartholomew, a graduate of Calvert High School, suffered a traumatic brain injury in the summer of 2016 when playing around with friends directly after her graduation. After battling memory and speech problems in months of physical therapy and with a will to succeed, Bartholomew has persevered. As she said, “It’s not always the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.” Bartholomew has played her cards well. At the ceremony where students received their awards and accolades, Bartholomew stood before the group and spoke eloquently for a full 10 minutes whereas years before, she had trouble stringing together three words. Her experience inspired her to pursue an education in nursing at Stevenson University. She
said, “By pursuing a degree in nursing, I will be able to help others. I was in that exact seat once as a patient; I can relate to the pains and emotions they’re feeling, that’s special.” The 2018 scholarship recipients are Carleigh Bartholomew , Stevenson University, Nursing; Taylor Bowen, York College of PA, Nursing; MaryBrooke Burval, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Medical Degree; McKenzie Copsey, College of Southern MD, Nursing; Amanda Curran, Stevenson University, Nursing; Adam Davis, Salus University, Pennsylvania College of Optometry, Doctor of Optometry; Elizabeth Duncan, College of Southern MD, Nursing; Erin Farley, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Masters in Nursing Leadership; Ashley Farrell, York College of PA, Nursing; Pamela Farrell, Salisbury University, Nursing; Martina Greene, College of Southern MD, Physical Therapist Assistant; Tara Grover, Salisbury University, Nursing; Leianna Haines,

The Tackle Box Fishing Report
Imitating the Queen
In 1993, unbelievably a quarter of a century ago, Charles Barkley declared in a provocative Nike ad that, “I am not a role model.” The bit targeted the idolization of athletes who, in reality, do little more than entertain. Whatever you think of Barkley, it was, at the time, a controversial and much needed challenge to skewed personal value systems. About 10 years ago and a decade and a half its release, I used Barkley’s ad for a piece on misguided hero-worship in this very column. The inspiration arrived via a local charity golf tournament attended by local dignitaries, law enforcement, social workers and a former professional athlete. All gave speeches. All but one received polite applause – the former professional athlete brought the house down. Despite the presence of several people having a direct, tangible and important impact on our local community, it was the professional athlete, one with no ties to Southern Maryland, who easily won the crowd’s adoration. It was a strange scene, especially considering the audience was a pack of adults, not a goo-goo eyed crop of impressionable adolescents. My conclusion in the article was this: Fifteen years after Barkley’s message, little had changed – by deifying athletes and not those who influence the pillars of society and our individual lives, we still had the role model thing all wrong. The years have provided many names that support Barkley’s claim that athletes have no business being in the role model business - Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Floyd Mayweather, Ryan Lochte and Ben Roethlisberger, to name but a few. In fact, if the aperture is expanded to include those of power and fame – Steve Jobs, the Catholic Church and presidents Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump - Barkley’s only error may be that his scope was too narrow. But I am, despite this list of miscreants, revisiting Barkley’s position and my endorsement. Time…and circumstance have a way of bending one’s perspective. Aretha Franklin. The Queen of Soul. Her music…white, African American, old, young: so long as you have a pulse, it reaches some special place in the human soul. Franklin left us last week, but her legacy will be long-lasting. At age 45, though, I am not old enough to have experienced her prime. I am also male and white, so while I can contemplate her impact on young women, and particularly on young women of color, I can’t possibly get it. Not fully. But the trail from Franklin through Diana Ross, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Adele isn’t hard to trace. This is where Barkley’s contention that he wasn’t a role model because he simply bounced a basketball missed the mark. Applied to Franklin, Barkley’s 1993 message would argue that as “just a singer”, and not someone who saved lives on a daily basis, educated children or protected families from harm, she wasn’t a role model either – a preposterous suggestion. For some unbiased clarity, Meriam-Webster defines a role model as, “a person whose behavior in a particular role is imitated by others”. The phrase “in a particular role” suggests there’s no absolute formula; it allows for flaws, differences in social contributions and latitude for the prospecting imitator to select particular aspects of the role model’s character or accomplishments. Barkley’s suggestion that society overvalues power and fame was profound (it’s only gotten worse), but the powerful and famous – including athletes and musicians/entertainers – aren’t automatically disqualified from role model consideration by trade alone. Further, and this is something to be mindful of, individuals don’t get to decide whether they become role models; the people who observe and are influenced by their actions do. As for that imitation thing…no one can sing like Aretha Franklin. But Meriam-Webster’s imitation doesn’t have to be literal. Franklin’s music was a feel-good tonic for whatever was ailing you. Her golden voice made you happy. Duplicating that magic for those in our lives and on our own scale is a worthy endeavor – that’s why Franklin’s a role model. We all have an ability to make people smile or to lighten their blues, even if we can’t carry a simple tune. Send comments to RonaldGuyJr@gmail.com
Troy Tippett and Brady with reds from Thursday
By Ken and Linda Lamb Contributing Writers The past several weeks have found big red drum (reds,redfish, channel bass) all over the bay chasing bait fish and spanish mackerel. These fish have been caught randomly by trollers using big spoons or jigs and bucktails dressed with shad bodies. The best of this fishing is to find the fish frothing the water in a big break with spanish mackerel leaping out of the water trying to escape from the redfish. At that point the fish are bunched up by the hundreds in a concentrated area about the size of a big swimming pool. Any lure tossed into the water will be instantly hit by a redfish in the 35 to 50 pound range. Such an event took place last Thursday about three miles below the Target ship on the South West Middle Grounds in about 25 feet of water. The fish erupted at the very end of the outgoing tide about 1PM and stayed active for a little over an hour. I had been invited on Tom Tippet’s boat the “Box Alarm” out of the Patuxent and we spent most of the morning trolling around looking for the fish from about buoy 72 slowly working our way south. There were a dozen or so other boats doing the same including Capt. Kyle Johnson of Rock Solid Charters. There were occasional hookups of a redfish or two here and there but no big concentrations were located. We eventually anchored and set up a chum line on the Middle Grounds and got an undersized cobia (very nice) and a big red about 25 pounds, as well as several cow-nosed rays. All the reds we were looking for would be oversize as we are allowed only one a day in a slot limit of 18 to 27 inches. All the fish are carefully handled and released alive and kicking. About 1 PM we were getting ready to quit chumming as the action had slowed and to go red drum hunting again when they suddenly erupted about a quarter mile away. The anchor had to be retrieved, the rods switched from chumming rigs to lures to throw, and the chumming gear put away. A mad scramble was still underway to accomplish these tasks when Capt. Tom eased the boat up next to the thrashing fish and we threw
five lures into the frothy water and immediately had five fish on. All of these fish were landed except mine which I had on my personal rod which was too light for the job and the fish broke off as it was headed for the net. That outfit was put away and a stouter rod and reel was quickly substituted. While pictures of the four fish were being taken and the fish released, I called Capt, Kyle and told him to come on down. We were the only boat in the break and the fleet had all gone north out of sight. The fish were still up and the boat was skillfully maneuvered to cast to them. For the next hour we were constantly in breaking fish. Capt. Kyle came in about ten minutes after we called and carefully edged his boat up the fish and he and his other two mates hooked up on their first casts. They ended up landing and releasing ten fish. Gradually other boats showed up. The fish became more skittish in all that prop noise, and some boats drove into the middle of the school at full tilt to make a cast scattering the fish. We headed home about 2:30 with the fish still active but scattered around and harder to find. All told we calculated we had landed 30 fish in the 35 to 50 pound range. Others were hooked and lost. There were some lures with hooks broken or straightened. A big heavy duty jig with a 6/0 or 8/0 hook is what I would recommend. It was a day we will never forget. Last year the big reds were here through October. They ranged as far north as buoy 76 out of the mouth of the Patuxent, and were situated just outside the Targets in Cedar Point Hollow for a couple of weeks feeding on tiny gray trout (weakfish) that schooled up there. One troller targeting spanish mackerel at the three legged marker in the Patuxent mouth landed a couple and caught a redfish about 30 pounds on the same spoon last Wednesday. Anywhere there are mackerel there could be redfish. Bottom fishing has improved all over with massive amounts of spot and white perch available most everywhere. Spanish mackerel are in the ship’s channel along with some snapper blues. Rockfish are up the rivers in the shallows ready to hit cast or trolled lures most every evening and sunrise.

2nd Annual Parkers Creek Challenge Set It’s a “Triathlon with a Twist!” Run, Row & Ride! Get Ready for the Challenge! On September 29th, 2018 the American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) will host its 2nd Annual “Parkers Creek Challenge”. This modified triathlon involves biking 9.2 miles from Port Republic to the northern entrance to the preserve in Prince Frederick, running one mile down a natural trail to Parkers Creek, kayaking two miles down the creek to the Warriors Rest Sanctuary, and then running two miles back to ACLT’s South Side Trailhead along the roadway. Beginning at 7am, the event will kick off from 2650 Scientists Cliffs Rd, Port Republic, Maryland 20676. This fun community event raises funds for ACLT’s Parkers Creek Preserve. According to Greg Bowen, ACLT’s Executive Director, “This race travels the outer edges of the beautiful Parkers Creek Watershed. There’s nothing like getting to experience the area from the roads, through the forests and along the stunning creek.” The top three finishing male and female competitors will receive the official ACLT race medal, a handcrafted pottery medallion. Volunteer time callers will be present along the course, but timing is unofficial. Participants must provide their own kayak/canoe and bike. Participants are encouraged to hang around after the race for complimentary food and refreshments. For more information about the Park-
Parker’s Creek
ers Creek Challenge and to register please visit the website at acltweb.org and follow ACLT on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram. At the American Chestnut Land Trust, we see a future where the land is protected, the wildlife is thriving and the Chesapeake Bay is healthy. ACLT is a member-supported, non-profit organization
that protects the Parkers Creek watershed and its surrounding natural lands, waterways, and wildlife habitats. With more than 3,400 acres of protected land, we maintain 22 miles of free trails and offer regular opportunities for the community to canoe and study the pristine ecosystems of the preserve. In addition, using earth-friendly practices, ACLT’s
preserved farm land grows thousands of pounds of produce which are donated to local food pantries. ACLT’s Parkers Creek Preserve is located between Prince Frederick and Port Republic in Calvert County, Maryland. Press Release from ACLT
Anglers Urged to Help Protect Maryland’s State Fish Fishing for striped bass in Maryland is an annual rite of summer, but anlgers are advised to follow a few basic measures to help protect the iconic species during the hottest part of the summer. Seasonal high water temperatures and low oxygen can cause fish to become sensitive and stressed, with increased mortality during catch-andrelease. Larger striped bass—24 inches or larger—will have the most difficulty with these conditions. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources recommends that fish be unhooked using a pair of needle-nosed pliers. Anglers should also avoid excessive handling that can damage the fish’s protective layer and cause skin lesions and sores. During these hot summer months, the department also encourages anglers not to practice catch-andrelease fishing for rockfish after reaching their two-fish limit. “Our conservation efforts are designed to keep Maryland’s fishing stock abundant and healthy, but a combination of natural factors make midsummer weeks an
especially sensitive time for striped bass,” Fishing and Boating Services Director David Blazer said. “Simple fishing tactics, which can and should be used year round, can help assure more fish survive the summer.” To reduce the mortality rate of rockfish, the department introduced revised regulations that include the required use of circle hooks, which catch fish in the corner of the mouth. These hooks cause less internal damage and also mean less time out of the water. The department recommends using circle hooks in sizes of 9/0 – 10/0. Maryland’s new striped bass regulations are in effect through the end of the 2019 season. At that time, the department will use new stock assessment data to determine if the new conservation actions and measures are preventing striped bass mortality in the Chesapeake Bay as designed and intended.
