The purpose of Coastal Conservation Association Maryland is to advise and educate the public on the conservation of our marine resources. The objective of CCA is to conserve, promote, and enhance the present and future availability of coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public
In an effort to restore oyster reef habitat while improving fishing opportunities for recreational fisherman in the Chesapeake Bay, CCA Maryland has worked with CCA’s national habitat program, the Building Conservation Trust (BCT), and local partners including Carroll County Public Schools, Lehigh Cement Co., Stevenson University, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation & the Maryland Artificial Reef Initiative (MARI) to create the Living Reef Action Campaign. Since 2015 numerous county school systems have joined the Living Reef Action Campaign(LRAC).
By working with educators, we collectively provide a meaningful experiential environmental learning for students. The building concrete reef balls, which are later seeded with oyster spat and deployed in the Chesapeake Bay to create new three dimensional reef structures, provides a unique perspective for students, teachers and parents into the importance of the oyster in the regional ecosystem.
