Winter can be hard on boats.
Chair William Donald Schaefer has named a task force to review and recommend the use of affordable insurance as a tool to protect the state s dwindling skipjack fleet. These managed forest lands and wetlands are the former holdings of the Chesapeake Forest Products Corporation. At the time of sale, all of the 58,000 acres of the Chesapeake Forest lands were leased to individuals and hunting clubs. As part of the purchase agreement, the Department of Natural Resources and the Conservation Fund agreed to honor the existing hunting leases. Therefore, hunters are advised that there is no public hunting during this hunting season on any of the Chesapeake Forest lands.
