Discover how the Piscataway Conoy Tribe is protecting their ancestral waterways while strengthening their community through an innovative, culturally grounded environmental project.

In this video, tribal members share how funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust supported a grant program focused on removing invasive blue catfish, a species harming the Chesapeake Bay watershed. By addressing this ecological threat, the Tribe not only helps restore balance to the natural ecosystem but also creates a valuable food resource for community members facing food insecurity.

Rooted in their identity as “the people where the waters blend,” the Piscataway Conoy Tribe has long served as stewards of one of the region’s largest watersheds. This project reflects that responsibility: a solution that meets both an environmental need and a community need at the same time.

If you’re interested in Indigenous stewardship, invasive species management, or community‑centered conservation, this story offers a powerful example of resilience, innovation, and connection to place.
