Help Name The Crab on Maryland's Bay Plate!
The Chesapeake Bay Trust is excited to launch its second naming contest to help and give an identity to the crab featured on Maryland's Treasure the Chesapeake license plate.
There are many creatures who call the Chesapeake Bay their home, but there are a few that stand out more than Maryland's famous blue crab.
Last year the Chesapeake Bay Trust received thousands of suggestions and votes to help name the iconic blue heron featured on the Maryland Treasure the Chesapeake license plate. In the end, Wade was born!
Last year, over 1,000 voters named the plate's blue heron, Wade, and now it is the crab's turn with another iconic Bay creature, the blue crab. While many people may recognize Wade the Heron on Bay plates, many don't even notice this little crab huddled in the corner. What is his name? Or what is her name? Should Wade have a girlfriend? Help decide!
