CONSERVATION

The Conservation Department succeeded the Conservation Commis-
sion of Maryland, which was organized in 1915, when the Legislature
consolidated the various commissions and boards which dealt with the
administration of the natural resources of the State. At that time, there
were in existence the Maryland Shell Fish Commission, the State Game
Warden, the State Fishery Force and the Board of Fish Commissioners,
each of which bad some integral part of the above resources under its
supervision. The Conservation Commission, when first appointed, was
composed of three members, but in 1922 it was reduced to a one-man
commission.

The Commissioner has as his staff:

1. A State Game Warden, who has charge of the State Game
Division, composed of District Deputy Game Wardens in
each County of the State and Baltimore City, whose duties
are the enforcement of the game, fish and other Conserva-
tion laws, which come under their notice.

2. A Hydrographic Engineer, whose duty is to survey tlio
ground leased for private oyster planting.

3. A Commander of the State Fishery Force, which office has
been consolidated with that of the Commissioner.


Chesapeake Biological Laboratory

During the latter part of 1931, the Chesapeake Biological Labora-
tory, which was erected on a site overlooking the Patuxent River and
Chesapeake Bay on Solomon’s Island, was completed. This laboratory,
which was formally opened in June, 1932, will afford a wild life research
and study center, where facts tending toward a fuller appreciation of
nature may he gathered and dissemiuated. Formal class work in bio-
logical subjects will be developed, and independent investigation of
cnariao life is to be fostered. The following universities and colleges are
taking part in each season’s work: Johns Hopkins University, the Uni-
versity of Maryland, St. John's College, Washington College and
 
 
 
Goueher College, and courses offered include. Invertebrate Zoology,
Economic Zoology, Protozoology, Embryology, Animal Ecology, Paleon-
tology and Zoology Problems.
