The Mallows Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary advisory council held its first public virtual meeting on Monday, discussing the purpose and the process of the council and introducing members.
The meeting was led by Sammy Orlando, superintendent of the Mallows Bay sanctuary. Orlando said the prior six years were used working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to designate the area as a national marine sanctuary, finally reaching the goal in September 2019.
âDesignation is only the beginning of story. We have a tremendous foundation of those who enable new opportunities, I have big plans for you,â Orlando said to the new council. âWe need to continue to get out the right messages about the sanctuary; there is no doubt all of you have a background that entails what we are trying to accomplish.â
DENTON â As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, food pantries and distribution organizations continue helping those in need, in spite of the many challenges.
Hagerstown-based Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry is encouraging hunters to donate their deer to participating deer processors. Those processors, in turn, will butcher and donate the meat to local food banks or to the Maryland Food Bank for wider distribution.
Helping those efforts is Amy Cawley, who grew up on a grain farm near Denton. She has been the Farm to Food Bank coordinator for the Maryland Food Bankâs Eastern Shore branch in Salisbury for 10 years. Her focus is securing fresh-edible produce.
