Hundreds of years ago, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor was a thriving tidal marshland teeming with life. However, over time, industrialization and urban development transformed the landscape, erasing this once-vibrant ecosystem. Now, the National Aquarium in Baltimore is on a mission to bring back the marshlands and restore the natural balance to the Inner Harbor. Through the creation of floating wetlands, they aim to improve water quality, attract native species, and educate visitors about the importance of wetland ecosystems.
