The National Aquarium in Baltimore, US, is set to start work on a floating wetland exhibit between piers three and four of the Inner Harbor area.
Called Harbor Wetland, the US$14m (€13.2m, £11.5m) exhibit is scheduled to open next summer and will reintroduce a natural salt marsh habitat that once thrived in the city.
The exhibit will act as a free-to-visit and open floating public park, with a network of floating, manmade “islands” with plants and grasses to attract and provide shelter for native species.
“We’ve been working on floating wetland technology through many iterations and many different projects,” said Jen Driban, the aquarium’s senior vice president and chief mission officer. “The most current prototype went in the water back in 2017”.
