This is not just a Maryland issue. This is not even a coastal issue. It is an issue that affects everyone. Every State uses H2B workers. from ski resorts out West and in the Northeast to quarries in Colorado. from landscapers who hire most of their workers in spring and summer to shrimpers In Texas and Louisiana. And of course the seafood industry on both coasts. Being able to hire seasonal workers is critical to the State of Maryland. We have a lot of summer seasonal businesses in Maryland. on the Eastern Shore. in Ocean City or working the Chesapeake Bay.
