The Floating Wetlands of Baltimore Harbor

If the United States is going to meet the goal of having 30% of our land and water areas serving as wildlife habitat by 2030, it's going to take some thinking outside the box.  One of the most unique ideas in play right now comes out of the National Aquarium in Baltimore, which sits on the edge of one of the least-likely wildlife habitats in America - Baltimore's Inner Harbor.  Not much you can do with that heavily urbanized, polluted habitat, right?  Well, maybe not...
