Chesapeake Bay Wetlands
Wetlands act as refuges for birds, blue crabs, striped bass, oysters, shad, otters, and other aquatic wildlife. Wetlands throughout the Chesapeake Bay region are being damaged or lost at an alarming rate as a result of coastal development, rising sea levels, and damage from non-native species.
The Aquarium has formed partnerships with various organizations throughout the Bay region to create volunteer opportunities to restore tidal wetlands through cleanups and grass plantings.
