Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: The back creek conservancy improves, conserves, and speaks for annapolis md's back creek, an estuary of the chesapeake bay, and its watershed, to make it a healthier place to live, work, and play in harmony with nature. By 2025, the back creek conservancy envisions a creek we can swim in without fear of illness; a thriving creek with fish, crabs, aquatic vegetation, and other wildlife; a creek where neighbors, marine professionals, and recreational boaters work together for improved water quality; a creek that is resilient to the impacts of climate change; and a creek that makes us proud to be part of america's sailing capital.
Programs: Back creek watershed action plan, developed with a chesapeake bay trust watershed assistance grant, is a roadmap for watershed restoration in 28 neighborhoods to reduce nutrients & sediment.
water quality monitoring was started in 2016, sampling at eight locations to identify toxins & ensure that the creek is swimmable & fishable.
shoreline stewardship, funded by a grant from bge, will guide waterfront property owners to invest in green infrastructure to increase coastal resilience & wildlife habitat, with advice from the chesapeake legal alliance & insight from aerial drone photos.
