Working on the River
Water is a valuable resource that people gravitate towards for its beauty, productivity, and transport. For most, the river has become a luxury commodity, a pretty piece of real estate or a waterway to cruise, but there are still those that interact with the river to make a living. These people depend on the river for their paychecks but they also draw a sense of self from their association with the river. Take a minute and meet some of the people that take pride in working on the Wicomico River.
