MARYLAND MANUAL 123
By Chapter 72, Acts of 1964, the General Assembly reorganized the
Board of Natural Resources and clarified its power and duties. The
present Board is a successor to the Board of Natural Resources created
in 1941. The Board consists of eight members appointed by the Gov-
ernor and nine ex officio and departmental members. The appointed
members include the Chairman, who serves at the pleasure of the
Governor, and seven members appointed for four-year terms from
seven geographic areas of the State. The members appointed geo-
graphically are confirmed by the Senate.
The Board is primarily a review board and a planning agency which
is "responsible for coordinating all the natural resources activities of
the State". The Board is authorized and directed to "review programs
and plans and keep account of the long-term objectives of each of the
departments, agencies, and institutions represented on the Board" and
to "recommend to the Governor and the General Assembly coordinated
policies, plans and procedures for the conservation and use of the
State's natural resources". The Board distributes navigation charts,
books, pamphlets, slides, maps and other material relating to the
natural resources of the State. An Annual Report summarizes the
deliberations and conclusions of the Board and describes the programs
and activities of the agencies associated with the Board (Code 1967,
1965 Supp., Art. 66C, sees. 1-5).

The Department of Chesapeake Bay Affairs, established by Chapter
82, Acts of 1964, superseded the Department of Tidewater Fisheries,
created by Chapter 508, Acts of 1941. The new Department assumed
the responsibilities of the former Department for the conservation
and development and management of the natural resources of the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. In addition, to keep abreast of
changing conditions in the growing State, several new responsibilities
were added. These include water-oriented recreation development,
shore erosion control, waterways improvement and maintenance, and
the issuing of permits for the mineral exploration and exploitation of
the Chesapeake Bay bottoms.
The Commission consists of five members appointed by the Governor
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate for four-year terms.
The Chairman serves at the pleasure of the Governor. Of the remain-
ing four members, two must reside on the Eastern Shore, two repre-
sent the Western Shore, and one must reside in either Charles, Calvert,
or St. Mary's counties.
