Anglers in Maryland are once again uniting to put a stop to an invasive fish species while also reeling in a few bucks along the way.
The “Reel Rewards” program, launched in 2024 by a coalition of local conservation groups, pays fishermen $30 for every snakehead, blue and flathead they catch in the Baltimore harbor.
“Invasive fish species threaten the Baltimore Harbor ecosystem, economy, and native species,” the group's website says.
'ODD-LOOKING' DEEP SEA FISH WASHES UP ON BEACH, SURPRISING LOCALS: 'WOULD NOT EXPECT TO RUN ACROSS'
“Invasive snakehead, blue catfish, and flathead catfish prey on and compete for resources with native species that are important to anglers and businesses,” the site also notes.
Anglers can catch up to a maximum of 15 fish heads or bodies per week — and it does not matter whether the fish is caught on land or by boat.
Snakeheads have scales similar to a boa or python, giving meaning to their name.

Archaeologists excavating the site of a future golf course were surprised to find evidence of a prehistoric village — including a rare chariot wheel dating back millennia.
The excavation took place near Inverness, Scotland, at the site of the future Old Petty Championship Golf Course at Cabot Highlands.
Experts working for Avon Archaeology Highland also found a Bronze Age cremation urn estimated to be 3,500 years old, along with flint tools and quern stones, which were used to grind grains.

As many Americans across the nation are rushing to obtain their REAL ID license, some are choosing to opt out – by either using their valid passport as their preferred form of ID for travel or waiting until their current driver's license expires and then renewing it.
The REAL ID requirement takes effect on May 7, when Americans must have a new form of identification in order to fly domestically.
The costs of obtaining the identification vary from state to state. Costs also vary according to whether travelers are obtaining a first-time REAL ID or looking to renew their existing license.

Archaeologists recently made a startling discovery: They found that two 18th-century shipwrecks off the coast of Central America were actually two Danish slave ships.
The ships, named Fridericus Quartus and Christianus Quintus, are located in shallow waters off Costa Rica's Cahuita National Park. The 18th-century vessels were shipwrecked in 1710, according to the National Museum of Denmark.
“Fridericus Quartus was set ablaze, while Christianus Quintus had its anchor rope cut, following which the ship was wrecked in the surf,” the museum's press release noted. “Until now, it has not been clear exactly where the ships were lost.”

Some married women across the U.S. are sharing that they've been facing unexpected hurdles in obtaining their REAL ID as the May 7th deadline looms to have the documentation to fly domestically.
The common obstacle among them is proving their name change due to marriage without having in their possession their original marriage certificate needed to verify that change.
It has become a logistical nightmare, for example, for Dorothy Ballone — formerly Hotchkiss — of Rochester, New York. She's been on a mission to try to obtain her original marriage certificate from 67 years ago, she told Fox News Digital this week.

Archaeologists have announced the discovery of 5,000-year-old remains apparently belonging to a high-society woman from an ancient Peruvian civilization.
The tomb was found in Aspero, an area in the Caral site in Peru, which was formerly used as a municipal dump, Reuters reported.
Archeologist David Palomino told Reuters that the way in which the woman’s skin, hair and nails were preserved indicates she was of “high status” in the ancient Caral civilization.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND HUGE NUMBER OF HORSE SKELETONS
“This is an important burial because it has elements that correspond to a woman of high status,” said Palomino.
It is estimated the woman would have died while she was between 20 and 35 years old.
Researchers, however, are unclear about the exact date of the burial.
The remains were found along with a mantle of blue and brown feathers, which are believed to come from an Amazonian bird.

A message in a bottle sent by staff or students from a school that no longer exists has washed up on a beach, news agency SWNS reported — and was promptly found by a group of young people.
Hedda Traa Haukom was on the beach in Ny-Hellesund in the south of Norway with her cousins when they discovered the message in a bottle.
“We stumbled on a bottle with a piece of paper inside,” Haukom, 14 years old, told the news outlet. “It was located 10 meters from shore, under a rock. The bottle looked pretty old, so we decided to open it and read the note.”
