About the Presentation: The Mid-Chesapeake Bay Island Ecosystem Restoration Project (Mid-Bay Project) is a federal and state partnership between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District and the Maryland Port Administration (MPA). The Mid-Bay Project will restore remote island habitats near James and Barren Islands in Dorchester County, using dredged material from the Chesapeake Bay’s Maryland navigation channels. The restoration will provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species, enhance shoreline protection and recreation activities, and assist with maintaining navigational safety.
Construction of the Mid-Bay Project started in 2022 and will continue for the next 10-15 years. The project will support dredged material placement for approximately 30 years. This presentation will provide an overview of the project.
