Baltimore District project teams and leadership hosted U.S. Senate staff for a briefing and aerial tour of Poplar Island and the Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island ecosystem restoration projects, August 31, 2023. Poplar Island, once on the verge of disappearing, is now an international model for habitat restoration and the beneficial use of dredged material. Mid-Bay, located adjacent to James and Barren Islands off the coast of Dorchester County, follows in the footsteps of Poplar's success, eventually providing hundreds of acres of dredge material placement and, as a result, wetland and terrestrial habitat through the "beneficial use" over the next several decades.
