Man To Paddle From Havre de Grace To Virginia For Oyster Recovery
The 240-mile paddleboard journey will raise money for planting oysters in the Chesapeake Bay.
ANNAPOLIS, MD — An Annapolis man is planning to attempt an ambitious 240-mile paddleboard journey down the Chesapeake Bay to raise money for planting oysters in the Bay. With each paddle, Chris Hopkinson is hoping to bring more awareness about the dwindling population of a sea creature that’s very important to the Chesapeake Bay.
“Oysters are really the heart of the Bay,” Hopkinson said. “As the oyster goes, so goes the Bay.”
