HONORING THE WORK AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF NICK HARGROVE FOR PRESERVING AND 
                     PROTECTING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANDY HARRIS

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 6, 2024

  Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mr. Nicholas ``Nick'' 
Hargrove, an Eastern Shore seafood processor and oyster restoration 
expert who has had tremendous impact on the health and sustainability 
of the Chesapeake Bay.
  Nick is the owner of Tilghman Island Seafood which processes 
approximately 20,000 pounds of blue catfish daily. Through his hard 
work and dedication, Nick is instrumental in protecting crabs, perch, 
menhaden, and others, against the invasive blue catfish population 
plaguing the Bay. Nick has also contributed to addressing the oyster 
shell shortage by replanting millions of dried oyster shells in the 
Chesapeake Bay.
  On behalf of the people of the Maryland's First Congressional 
District, I thank Nick for his tireless work and dedication to 
preserving the Chesapeake Bay for future generations to come.
