Chesapeake Bay Week on MPT
Maryland Public Television is offering a series of environmental programs this week as part of its fourth-annual Chesapeake Bay Week. The programs are a mix of new shows and repeats of popular bay shows.
The new shows include "Eatin' Crabs Chesapeake Style," a 30-minute journey through the world of blue crabs, with stops from Ocean City to Oakland in Western Maryland. It airs Monday at 9 p.m. Viewers also can get a glimpse inside the adventures of the young crew that sailed and rowed the bay last summer in a replica of the shallop used by explorer Capt. John Smith. "On the Trail of Captain John Smith: Rediscovering the Chesapeake Bay" airs next Friday at 9 p.m. Repeat programs include two shows that focus heavily on Anne Arundel County: "Weary Shoreline," a look at Critical Area laws, at 9 p.m. on Thursday and "Hidden Rivers," which explores stormwater and airs at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The week ends on April 27 with a volunteer-a-thon at 6 p.m. During the two-hour live special, folks can call in to be matched with local nonprofit organizations.

SACReD Featured in MPT's "Weary Shoreline" Program
"Weary Shoreline: The Chesapeake's Death by a Thousand Cuts": This Maryland Public Television-produced documentary special explores how shoreline construction is contributing to the bay's demise. MPT examines how failure to enforce one of the state's most important environmental laws is a significant factor in the decline of the Chesapeake Bay's health. Featured will be our issues with the "Run Turtle Run" proposed development, and our campaign to get our local Severn Bank, the self-declared "Green Bank", out of the business of funding improper development in the important Critical Areas. Our River Keeper, Bob Gallagher, as well as Jim Foster and Mike Shay from SACReD, will be included in this show. Forward the show times and Info to your interested friends.
"Weary Shoreline" airs Wednesday, February 27, 2008, at 9 pm on Maryland Public Television.
