This Maryland Geocoin is named after fond memories of a crab feast I enjoyed on the shores of Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore in the 1970s with my brother and his wife’s family. Crab lines were left dangling over jetties while we went sailing, and when we returned a huge load of crabs and sweetcorn was cooked and laid out on a beach banquet table under the hot summer sun.
It seemed to me that this was the land of the plenty, and that Nature was good, beautiful and bountiful.
Now, apparently, Chesapeake Bay and its marine ecology is suffering from oxygen depletion and various pollutants which have created ‘dead-zones’.
What are we doing to our beautiful planet?
The actual Maryland geocoin stays with the owner. This is a replica for placing in the cache in an attempt to discourage those lovely non-muggles who like to "collect" (ie steal) other people's geocoins.
Please do not log this geocoin if you have not gone to the trouble of finding it in a physical cache. No Event caches please.

No water just here, but plenty of rivers nearby with lots of anglers working their magic.

Couldn't resist grabbing this one as the Chesapeake Bay is one of my favorite places...with or without fish! Will place soon.

Left it at Stone Gull Weir on the Great Ouse where the fish CAN breath - saw some while we were there! Mind you the anglers and the herons get a few of them!

I was a bit disappointed when I found this one but can quite understand your thinking, both on coin theft and "event finds".
Anyway it has a lovely story attached to it; I've been meaning to read James Michener's Chesapeake for ages now - maybe this will spur will spur me to actually do it. I share your views on the planet but there is a lot of good news too!
Anyway I know a nice waterside location for the coin and will move it on soon.
