What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is undertaking a $30 million upgrade to Somers Cove Marina, which is the state's largest public marina. This project includes replacing piers, installing a new bulkhead, and constructing five tide gates within a new storm drain system to prevent tidal flooding in Crisfield. Separately, aerial surveys showed that underwater grasses in the Chesapeake Bay covered 89,385 acres in 2025, representing a 7% improvement over 2024, though this remains below the 90,000-acre goal set for 2030.
