Local Anglers Buy Subway Cars


Photo From: Jack Barnes - Album: Fishing

Description: Thanks to efforts from members of the Ocean Pines Anglers Club and the Atlantic Coast Chapter of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen's Association, $1200 was raised and donated to the Ocean City Reef Foundation. These monies will allow the Reef Foundation to purchase two New York City stainless subway cars which will be the start of the most significant reef development project ever off Maryland's coast. The two subway cars will join 44 others purchased with donations to the Reef Foundation which will be taken in May by barge and sunk at the Jackspot reef 21 miles southeast of Ocean City. Here they will provide new habitat for various fish. The Reef Foundation hopes that enough funds can be raised for another 4 barge loads which will significantly increase the fish habitat and improve inshore fishing for everyone in the Ocean City area. Donations can me mailed to; OC Reef Foundation, Inc. P.O. Box 1072 , Ocean City, Md. 21843 Shown in the photo L to R are; John Jewer on behalf of the MSSA presenting $600 to Marta Beman, OC Reef Foundation Administrator; Greg Hall, President OC Reef Foundation receiving $600 from Dick Nieman and John Stawecki on behalf of the Ocean Pines Anglers Club.
