Baltimore Harbor Assessment

The Integration & Application Network worked with the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore (WPB) to assess the current health status of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Using six ecological indicators and three human health indicators, the current health of Baltimore's Harbor was evaluated and reported in a baseline report card. An extensive technical report was produced that included additional tidal indicators and watershed (non-tidal) indicators. This project is part of the WPB's larger plan to make the Harbor swimmable and fishable by 2020. The report card will be updated annually.
