Effective May 11th, 2018, the Southern Maryland Chapter dissolved its relationship with Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association. A new organization, the Southern Maryland Recreational Fishing Organization, Inc. (SMRFO), has been formed with the mission to preserve and protect the Maryland fishery resources by protecting the rights of recreational fishermen, supporting research in the sustainability of fisheries, and serving the local community by supporting recreational fishing events. The SMRFO is a non-profit, 501(c)(4) corporation registered in the State of Maryland.   To visit our new organization's website, click here .
