| Abstract: |
To compensate for the untoward environmental effects of one if its projects, the Maryland Port Administration is undertaking a series of steps to improve conditions within Masonville Cove, an area of open water and uplands along the Patapsco River in Baltimore. By addressing past contamination, stabilizing shorelines, controlling erosion, improving substrate, and creating reefs and wetlands, the project is transforming Masonville Cove from a neglected eyesore to a valued urban refuge. |
