| 摘要： | Like many other places across the globe, the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, is facing the effects of climate change and sea-level rise. As the islands of Chesapeake are lost to erosion, so too is precious wildlife habitat and buffer from storms for neighboring mainland communities. Innovative thinkers with the Port of Baltimore and its partners came up with a win-win for the Port as well as the environment. Dredged material from maintaining the Chesapeake's deep channels could be used to restore eroding islands.In 2001, the Maryland General Assembly enacted the Dredged Material Management Act (DMMA) to ensure that federal navigation channels in the Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore Harbor remain safe and navigable for waterborne commerce. Twenty years later, among the achievements made possible by the DMMA is an international model for re-purposing dredged material to restore the environment formally known as the Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystem Restoration Project at Poplar Island (Poplar Island). |
