Projects
The Lindamoor Improvement Association prioritizes projects that engage our community, improve our shared resources, and protect the health of the Cove of Cork. Do you have a project idea? Contact the Board.
Growing Oysters
Each fall, winter, and spring, several waterfront homeowners hang cages filled with baby oysters from their piers. Participants make sure the cages remain fully submerged, shaking them free of debris once a month so free flowing water can carry food to the oysters inside. Scott MacMullan picks up the baby oysters each summer, and returns the matured oysters to a reef in the Severn River.
Monitoring Water Quality
From May through August, local scientists and volunteers collect water samples in Cove of Cork. The samples are tested for enterococci, which indicate fecal contamination and the potential presence of pathogenic bacteria. Data are published every Thursday on the Operation Clearwater website.
Expanding the Speed Zone
As of March 17, 2025, the Cove of Cork 6-knot speed zone has expanded by approximately 300 feet towards the Severn River. This will mitigate destructive wake damage and promote safe vessel operations. We are grateful to Tom Heyer, who requested and testified on behalf of this change, as well as the 20+ community members who expressed their support.
