The National Aquarium has an ambitious mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures. With a prime location in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and a goal of transforming their campus into a Chesapeake Bay demonstration landscape, the aquarium worked with Ayers Saint Gross to produce a sustainable and high-performing floating wetland to expand habitat on their campus. Located between Piers 3 and 4, the Harbor Wetland is a free exhibit on the National Aquarium campus. The 10,000 square foot habitat allows visitors to immerse themselves in a salt marsh habitat like those that existed in this space hundreds of years ago. In addition to describing the project, the speakers will talk about what they learned during and after the project, and provide insights that can guide the creation of floating wetlands in other locations fresh and saltwater locations.

Virtual option will be available for the 7pm lecture. Join the virtual lecture at vtasla.org
