On behalf of the Officers of Marine Emergency Team 26, we would like to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued support.

Last Friday, during our fundraiser at Hard Yacht Cafe, we made a special announcement that we excited to share with our Facebook family: we officially unveiled the new Marine Emergency Team patch!

The new design incorporates our traditional crab logo while introducing a fresh and updated look. Most importantly, the patch now includes a tribute to the beloved Francis Scott Key Bridge, allowing us to carry its memory with us on our shoulders.

The patch also features a unique shape inspired by the Guardians of the Galaxy shield—symbolizing our role as the Guardians of the Chesapeake. We’re proud of what this design stands for: strength, tradition, and our continued commitment to serving and protecting our community on the water.

Machinery may include excavators, concrete saws, vacuums, cranes and trucks.
An on-site concrete crusher will recycle materials for haul roads and staging areas, reducing truck trips and cost.
