MD Fisheries Now on Twitter
The Maryland Fisheries Service website continues to grow in size, scope and importance relevant to disseminating information to the public. In order to meet the public's request for timely news updates regarding all Fisheries items, the Maryland Fisheries Service has turned to the use of internet social media outlets. The first of these social media venues to be launched is their Twitter account. Their Twitter account is MDDNRFISH and will be updated with new items along with links to their web site which will have additional information regarding the topic at hand. You will need to have your own Twitter account (it's currently a free service) in order to receive their broadcasts (Tweets).
The goal of the Fisheries Service is to use a Twitter account to broadcast time sensitive information to the broadest audience in the simplest and most precise manner possible.
