October 2, 2015 — The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has a new director of fisheries, David Blazer, who has been on the job since Monday, Sept. 21.
Blazer, most recently before being hired as the director of fisheries, was the deputy director for harbor development at the Maryland Port Administration.
But it’s not his first go-around at DNR, as Blazer started his career with DNR as a sports fishing specialist. He established, coordinated and managed education and promotional programs before being promoted to legislation and regulation program chief, overseeing programs related to fin and sport fish in Maryland. He previously worked at DNR between 1990 and 1998.
