Ayers Saint Gross has been working with the National Aquarium to design a new floating wetland exhibit, Harbor Wetland, which will be installed between piers 3 and 4 in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Scheduled to open next summer, the exhibit will feature a walking dock and a network of floating, manmade “islands” with plants and grasses to attract and provide shelter for native species.  

This project is an expansion of the sustainable Floating Wetland Prototype Ayers Saint Gross and the National Aquarium worked on in 2018 with Biohabitats, McLaren Engineering Group, and Kovacs, Whitney & Associates in continuation of Studio Gang’s EcoSlip concept. The National ASLA award-winning project now serves as a durable and welcoming home for a variety of marsh shrubs, grasses, and native wildlife.
