Common Waters: Aligning Science and Community for a Sustainable Harbor

On May 28th, the Chesapeake Global Collaboratory hosted Common Waters: Aligning Science and Community for a Sustainable Harbor, convening stakeholders from community organizations, government, and research to share ideas and foster collaborative projects to improve Baltimore Harbor for all. Speakers highlighted how hands-on education is connecting students in Baltimore to the harbor, the environment, and job development, and the interconnectedness of accessibility, joy, and environmental stewardship. Participants joined workshops facilitated by IAN staff that brainstormed and planned projects to improve the harbor. We look forward to seeing how the connections and projects from this summit continue to develop.
