Deal Island Peninsula Partnership

Deal Island Peninsula Partnership A collaborative initiative dedicated to building community and environmental resilience to coastal flooding, erosion, and other environmental changes.

The University of Maryland and the Chesapeake
Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Maryland (CBNERR-MD) have partnered with Deal Island Peninsula communities, government and
non-governmental organizations, local and regional
decision-makers, managers, and scientists to increase the resilience of coastal habitats and communities in the face of flooding, erosion, storms, and other changes. Wh

y This Project? The Deal Island Peninsula has tremendous natural
and cultural wealth but is vulnerable to storms and flooding due in large part to low elevation. The goal of this project is to increase the resilience of the communities and habitats of the Peninsula to coastal storms, sea-level rise, flooding, erosion, and associated threats. We are working with a wide range of stakeholders to develop, assess,
and implement restoration, adaptation, and other options to increase resilience.

Sharing this opportunity to join a discussion on resilience in coastal agricultural communities with UMES and the Community Agricultural Resilience through extension (CARE) Project.
"What happens when a season of drought dries up fields, when flooding washes out roads, or when saltwater creeps into farmland? These disruptions don’t just affect crops—they ripple through the whole community. At this listening session, we will explore how farmers, families, and communities across Maryland deal with extreme weather."

We want to know how our neighbors and local farms are dealing with extreme weather. Join the Community Agricultural Resilience through extension (CARE) Project and University of Maryland Eastern Shore Extension for a listening session, 9-11 a.m., April 21, at the UMES Research, Extension and Teaching Farm in Princess Anne.
