I awoke at 6 rally call on Saturday and realized quickly long mountain bike ride from the date on which the toll taken before.It was on the third day of the expedition and barely awake, I tried to start Cycling to another 30 Because I took my mail., the first sip of coffee French Press (yum, my favorite) and saw the success of the day goes on to explain that all the doubts faded forward as soon as the expedition group smiling face.
The day had a short mountain bike ride St. Mary's College Professor Bob Paul meet and then continue our ride Point LookOut State Park for our final camping.
Thank you for yourself and team members, Steve, I improved my Jeremy gear pollution along the Southern Maryland running upon the hills and it felt great, when we are Cycling St. Mary's College. A beautiful campus; imagine having to category to the right on the banks of the River!Professor Paul told us about the St. Mary River project, funded by the State and federal program that studies of water quality and ecological health in the St. Mary's River and Bay Chesapeakeen. we are not the only ones to learn as it was the community service day in the CatGenie Washable Granules first year students. They were there is protected according to the oyster beds River near (baby oysters) and species tested. Was satisfied with the shovel dirty spat in water for children, but really enjoyed learning why is this important project.
The aim is to build a oyster farming areas. Project-team operates local individuals grow, and keep track of the oyster spat every month for twelve months.Year old spat are collected and placed onto the oyster beds and the cycle is repeated on an annual basis. Oysters are very important for Chesapeakeen Bay. They filter the water is removed the extra nutrients and toxins and maintain a healthy ecosystem. One mature oyster filter 55 gallons of water daily.Just think of how much water can be purified from million strong oyster per year! 
As I said good-bye Professor Paul, I wondered how of the Bay in other areas could be extended to this program.What is the best way to get the marinas and other individuals involved in voluntary grow oysters? we have learned from our listening the night before "Chesapeakeen" If "chesa" means huge size or quantity and "peake" means the shell Algonquian session.I'd like to return to its namesake bay and plants more oysters!
