Talbot County Watermen's Association

The goals of this organization are to promote Talbot County seafood and to support the industry through ecological as well as economic measures that seek to revitalize our Chesapeake Bay.
Talbot County watermen catch various species of seafood,depending on the time of year. Crabs,clams and fish are our summer bounty, while oysters clams and fish have traditionally been our winter fisheries.

In recent years however,watermen have had to become politically active. By working together with our legislators and DNR officials we have worked hard to support legislation that would improve water quality,thus insuring a healthy Chesapeake bay for all of Maryland citizens.
So when you sit down to Chesapeake bay seafood, know that a lot of hard work and long hours have been put in to provide that meal.

Our organization is compromised primarily of watermen, their families and other industry related occupations such as processors, truck drivers, restaurant workers and other marine related activities. We welcome all citizens who are interested in preserving our Chesapeake Bay and all of its natural resources to join us in this effort. The Talbot county watermen’s association believes that with your support as well as the cooperation of the DNR and our local legislators we can work together to restore the Chesapeake bay thus preserving our heritage and our way of life.
