Md. oyster growing program adding 7 tributaries

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland natural resources officials say seven tributaries are being added to a volunteer oyster growing program.

The Department of Natural Resources says each year the program accepts applications from community groups and all seven applicants this year were accepted. The applications came from the Bodkin, Oyster, Pope’s and Crab Alley Creeks as well as the Little Choptank and Rhode rivers, and Swan Cove in Harris Creek.
