Baltimore (May 10, 2010) – National Aquarium leaders, joined by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the Environmental Protection Agency, partners and members of the business community, have unveiled plans for a publically-accessible waterfront park on its property on the Patapsco River. The once contaminated and underused property has been reclaimed through brownfield remediation work and is being transformed into an asset for the community and the environment.

Funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfields program will help the National Aquarium’s Center for Aquatic Life and Conservation clean up a 13-acre site here along the Patapsco River.
