We made Ottobar’s 28th anniversary one to remember! Baltimore’s iconic punk rock music venue came down to the Harbor for an unforgettable birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint. We started October off with a bang at our last Baltimore by Baltimore of the season, Ottobar Live! Curated by the Ottobar’s own, Tecla Tesnau, we had an awesome lineup of six local bands of varying genres come out and rock the waterfront. From the surfy vibes of the Bali Lamas to the punk rock beats of Chromafix, Pearl, and Pinkshift to the upbeat sounds of Outcalls and PLRLS, there was something for everyone to groove to!

On September 20th, dissolved oxygen levels in the Inner Harbor dropped consistently below 2 milligrams per liter — what scientists call a dead zone. Six days later, oxygen fell to nearly zero and has stayed there ever since. With no oxygen for two weeks, all living organisms have either escaped or perished — fish, crabs, shrimp, eels, all gone. With zero dissolved oxygen, the sulfide-rich, anoxic water and green sulfur bacteria from the bottom of the harbor have replaced the oxygen-producing algae and the bright green “pistachio tide” has lingered day after day. The Harbor isn’t recovering — it’s flatlining.

It may not look like a lot has changed in the past month, but below ground a lot of work has been completed! Through September, the Plano-Coudon team has continued to make headway on important underground infrastructure that will lay the groundwork for the upcoming above-ground progress.

We had so much fun kicking off the Wildlife Gardening season last month with a fun-filled morning of bird watching, learning about bird-friendly plants, and even a visit from Uncle Steve the turkey!
