Magothy River Association (MRA) Reef Ball Project: On Oct. 12 and 13, 2004, 110 Reef Balls were deployed at two oyster sanctuaries; Rock Point and Dobbins Island, in the Magothy River, Ann Arundel County, Md. Deployment was by Ocean Outfitters of Maryland. This was a joint project with MES and MRA with grant support. MRA also had support from and coordinated with DNR. The staging area was at Cypress Marina, whose owner provided in-kind services for unloading, loading and storage of the Reef Balls prior to deployment. MES also organized and funded two local pours of Reef Balls with volunteers from the MRA. The Abell Foundation partially funded this project and assistance was obtained from Assocation with the Chesapeak Bay Trust.
