When National Aquarium Harbor Wetland opened one year ago on August 8, 2024, it was the culmination of more than a decade of work by a team of dedicated professionals across the Aquarium and beyond.
This film documents the planning, prototyping, pylon-driving, planting and patience that went into creating the Aquarium's first free outdoor exhibit, which is also the first floating wetland of its kind anywhere in the world. And really, the grand opening wasn't the culmination of Harbor Wetland at all; it was just the beginning.
Harbor Wetland is presented by Baltimore's own CFG Bank, with notable private investment from The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, The Bunting Family Philanthropies and Constellation, as well as the Aquarium's philanthropic community, and local, state, and federal government support.
