Monie Bay - Chesapeake Bay, MD

Activities

The 3,426 acre Monie Bay component is part of the Deal Island Wildlife Management Area, which attracts thousands of waterfowl along with bald eagles, osprey and northern harriers. Special boxes are set out for barn owls and peregrine falcons in an effort to increase their numbers.

Research is a high priority at this site due to its pristine condition. Of particular interest are studies assessing nutrient loadings from various land use practices and the measuring of nutrient uptake by marsh communities.

Other activities include wildlife viewing, birding, photography, hunting, fishing, crabbing and some limited programming.
