Project profile

Aaron Run, Maryland

Aaron Run is a tributary of the Savage River located in Garrett County, Maryland and has been identified on Maryland's List of Impaired Waters as impaired by low pH. As a result of this impairment, a multi-year Watershed Restoration Project has been established. The main goals of the project are to:

Remove the Aaron Run watershed from Maryland’s List for a low pH impairment
Restore what is now an extirpated population of native brook trout
Remediate numerous acid mine drainage impacts
Protect important economic fisheries

Partner profile

Atlantic Coastal Fish Habitat Partnership

The geographic extent of the ACFHP stretches from Maine to the
Florida Keys, including all or part of 16 States. It covers 476,357 square miles, including land areas inland to the headwaters of coastal rivers, and ocean areas outward to the continental slope. The ACFHP plans to work throughout the region, but will focus on estuarine environments and place less emphasis on coastal headwaters and offshore marine ecosystems.

The Atlantic coast is home to some of the most populous and fastest growing areas of the United States. Aquatic habitats of the Atlantic coast are being heavily impacted by avariety of human disturbances.
