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.
