This Talbot County public boat launch is at Easton Point. Stormwater river input from the parking lot is unopposed; the lot was completely submerged in Hurricane Isabel, Sept. 2003. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
Public boat launch and adjacent parking lot
The Easton Point area has this public county boat launch and a commercial marina with waterfront fuel sales. Stormwater river input from the parking lot is unopposed, and the fuel pumps can often be seen standing half submerged in high water events. The likelihood of diesel and gas fuel spills and stormwater runoff pollution is significant. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD

Concrete slabs are sometimes spaced apart to provide wildlife access to and from wetlands and uplands while providing some degree of shoreline protection. May 2005, Town Creek, Oxford, MD

Concrete slabs, shown on the left side of the photo, can be spaced apart to provide wildlife access to and from wetlands and uplands while still providing some degree of shoreline protection. This innovative approach is generally considered an improvement over the common rip rap shown on the right side of this photo, which is a significant and often insurmountable obstacle to wildlife.

Historically and currently, Easton Point has industrial waterfront activities such as fuel sales, delivery and storage, and gravel depots for asphalt production. A waterman's coop is also located here for the marketing of Maryland blue crabs. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD

This home under construction is situated in a pine forest. A silt fence has been installed in an attempt to prevent sedimentation into the wetlands. Unfortunately, even a building setback does little to prevent septic systems from failing due to frequent flooding and nutrient-laden runoff into the river. May 2005, Tred Avon River, Easton, MD

A goat-like bleeting sound was coming from behind the phragmites before the doe and fawn emerged into view onto this piece of beach. The fawn was obviously just born, its legs still wobbling as it approached its mother and began to nurse. May 2005, North Fork Tred Avon River, Easton, MD
