DTLW Advocates,

On Tuesday, February 24, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) will decide on emergency dredging funding for the Little Wicomico River Jetty.

We’ve made it this far together — let’s keep going.

We need you right now — please submit your comments directly to the VMRC Commissioners so they are included in the Commissioner's briefing packets for their decision.

🕛 Deadline: NOON TOMORROW, February 19

VMRC requires each individual to sign in and submit their own comment (they’ll email you a link to complete it). I can’t upload comments on anyone’s behalf — this is what makes your message official.

As of today, only 28 comments have been submitted — we truly need your help.

Please take 2 minutes right now:

Application #: 20252813

Copy/paste if helpful:

I urge VMRC to immediately approve the permit and support emergency dredging of the Little Wicomico River Jetty. Shoaling has made this federally authorized channel unsafe, and delaying action threatens public safety and Chesapeake Bay access.

--------------------------
This is the single most impactful step you can take today to move this project forward.

Let’s Dredge the Little Wicomico Jetty. ⚓
