Here's the story! (I guess they were waiting to post it after the 6pm news).

#EPA watchdog finds #BrunswickLanding is among #contaminated sites vulnerable to #SeaLevelRise, #flooding

Russ Reed, March 31, 2026

#BrunswickME - "The internal watchdog at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that about 100 of the nation's most #contaminated toxic waste sites, including one in #Maine, are in areas prone to #NaturalDisasters, posing a potential public health threat.

"The EPA's Office of Inspector General issued two new reports last week that are part of a series assessing the weather-related vulnerabilities of the 157 federal #Superfund sites prioritized for cleanup due to the serious risk they pose to public health and the environment. About 3 million Americans live within a mile of a Superfund site, while 13 million people live within 3 miles.

"Brunswick Landing, the site of the former #BrunswickNavalAirStation, is among the Superfund sites that were found to be at risk from multiple natural-disaster threats. According to the Inspector General, Brunswick Landing is one of 49 sites in coastal areas that are at risk from #SeaLevelRise or #StormSurge from hurricanes. Many of those sites are located near highly populated areas and important ecological locales like #ChesapeakeBay .

"Brunswick Landing is also one of 47 low-lying sites that are specifically prone to inland flooding from heavy rain. The Inspector General's review also found 31 sites in areas at high risk for wildfires."

There’s something very special about getting out before sunrise and catching the workboats on the #Chesapeakebay
The iconic “deadrise” hull was born on the Chesapeake Bay—designed to handle shallow waters, chop, and ever-changing conditions. “Deadrise” refers to the angle of the V-shaped bottom. That simple design helps boats cut through waves smoothly while still working in shallow water. These boats were built for watermen—hauling oysters, crabs, and fish. They’re basically the pickup trucks of the Bay. Early #deadrise boats were made entirely of wood, often built by hand in small local boatyards. No two were exactly alike. Many classic builders passed their techniques down through generations. Traditional deadrise #boats used “push poles” and sail before engines became common in the early 1900s. Their flat-ish bottoms let them navigate waters that would strand deeper boats—perfect for oyster beds and marsh creeks. Today, many are still working boats, while others are lovingly restored. For many on the Bay, these boats aren’t just vessels—they’re a way of life tied to generations of #watermen 🛶 🦀 🦪

53 Chesapeake Bay Fish You’ll Actually Encounter on the Water

The Chesapeake Bay holds more aquatic life than most anglers ever stop to count. Stretching nearly 200 miles from the Susquehanna River in northern Maryland down to the Atlantic Ocean at Virginia Beach, it's the largest estuary in the United States — and one of the most biologically diverse bodies of water on the East Coast. Whether you're casting from a pier in Annapolis, trolling the shipping channels near Baltimore, or wading the tidal flats of Virginia, you're sharing the water with […]
