The Aquatic Resource Education Program

 

The Aquatic Resource Education Program is part of the Department of Natural Resources’ Watershed Services Unit.

The goal of Maryland’s Aquatic Resource Education (ARE) Program is to instill the respect for the aquatic resources and rights of others by cultivating ethical behavior of Maryland’s aquatic resources.

Maryland’s ARE Program enables students to develop an appreciation and understanding of aquatic habitats in Maryland. This is accomplished by providing education materials, training and other opportunities to Maryland’s educators and young people, and by providing incentives to learn a more about the Chesapeake Bay watershed, inland streams, lakes and ponds.
