The Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) is a grassroots organization that works to restore and protect Maryland’s five coastal bays. The bays are home to abundant wildlife and aquatic resources, including rare and endangered species, that support numerous commercial and recreational opportunities for the people that live, work, and play in and around these unique ecosystems. The essential work done by the MCBP is guided by their Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP). IAN is working with the MCBP to develop with their 2025 CCMP revision, which will direct their work over the next 10 years.
