Summary

Situated only one hour from Washington, D.C. on the tidal, lower Potomac River, the Nanjemoy Peninsula is one of the most ecologically and culturally significant landscapes remaining in the State of Maryland. Migratory waterfowl and wading birds find shelter and abound in over ten miles of undisturbed shoreline, and an extensive network of wetlands and forests also harbor some of Maryland's finest examples of rare and endangered plants and animals. Nanjemoy's outstanding natural attributes are equally matched by its archeological resources and history - early Native American sites of the region offer a rare insight into indigenous cultures well prior to European settlement, and dozens of sunken ships lie in Mallows Bay along the Potomac ... With BLM [Bureau of Land Management] serving as project lead to fulfill its legal requirements, and DNR [State of Maryland, Department of Natural Resources] providing additional resource planning and technical support, the completed plan will identify recommendations for future public use, resource management, and recreational opportunities
