Healthy Harbor: Swimming and Fishing Dreams Can Come True
By: Deb Courson Smith, Public News Service - MD, December 14, 2011
BALTIMORE - Swimming and fishing in Baltimore Harbor - in less than 10 years?
That's the goal of the "Healthy Harbor" initiative from the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. Details will be finalized at a public meeting today on how to clean up the water and waterways leading to the harbor. The goal is for the water to be safe for bathers and anglers by 2020.
Bill Stack, deputy director of programs at the Center for Watershed Protection, helped work on the plan. Although the water is in better shape now than it was 10 years ago, he says, big challenges remain.
