About this site
This stretch of the Patuxent River shoreline is experiencing high erosion. In 2026 this shoreline will be restored to a living shoreline to protect it from further degradation. We are excited to see how this site will develop from open water to an ecologically functional tidal freshwater marsh!
About Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary
Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary (JBWS or Sanctuary) is located within the tidal reaches of the Patuxent River, in southern Anne Arundel County. It was established in 1985 and is operated by the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks . The Sanctuary protects about 1,700 acres of unique tidal freshwater marshes, forested wetlands, upland and riparian forest, creeks, meadows, pine and sand barrens, and fields along the Patuxent River. This protected land provides a safe haven for a high diversity of plants, insects, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish and microbes, and to rich Native American cultural resources.
