State leaders show support Maryland seafood marketing bill

Two Maryland leaders showed their support for a bill that would move the state’s seafood and aquaculture marketing program to another departmen.   Governor Larry Hogan and agriculture secretary Joe Bartenfelder toured the J.M. Clayton crab processing plant in Cambridge in support of House Bill 120, which would move the marketing from the Department of Natural Resources back to the Maryland Department of Agriculture.  HB120 will move the program back to the Agriculture Department, where it will join the existing Agriculture Marketing and Development Program.
