As early as 2019, we knew we were reaching a tipping point where, with routine monitoring, the Harbor could be safely managed as a recreational resource for the city and region.

In April of 2023, Waterfront Partnership began daily (Mon - Fri) bacteria monitoring at five sites in the Baltimore Harbor. The results are reported to Waterfront Partnership within 48 hours (often sooner) and are recorded on SwimGuide.org. The sampling season of the water monitoring program ended on October 27th.
