The Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island Ecosystem Restoration project, often known as Mid-Bay Island, is an island habitat restoration and expansion effort using dredged material that will soon replace the 24-year-old successful and near capacity Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island. Like its predecessor, Mid-Bay Island will mutually maximize navigational, economic and environmental benefits for the Chesapeake Bay region. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, and the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Port Administration jointly manage Mid-Bay Island, which occupies two eroding Chesapeake Bay islands - James and Barren islands - located in western Dorchester County, Maryland. |
