Maryland website touts outdoor sports

The Maryland Office of Tourism has partnered with private businesses to launch www.fishandhuntmaryland.com, a website promoting the state’s fishing and hunting opportunities. Cecil County, Maryland, tourism chief Sandy Maruchi-Turner told the Associated Press the website was created by the public-private Sportsmen & Women’s Marketing Initiative, “after a survey last year indicated many people elsewhere were unfamiliar with Maryland hunting and fishing opportunities.” The site notes Maryland’s claims to being the Decoy Capital of the World, the White Marlin Capital of the World and the Canada Goose Capital of the World, and features a variety of trip-planning assistance for vacationers and sportsmen and women.
