Magothy River Association
In 1946, the Magothy River Association (MRA) was formed by the residents to prevent the river from becoming a Navy seaplane base. Today this organization concentrates on issues concerning land use, water quality monitoring, fish habitat and reforestation programs. Volunteer scientific divers assist with the restoration and management of underwater grasses and oyster habitats.
