Keep Up With the Buzz on Baltimore’s Waterfront!
Whether you live a few steps from the waterfront or take the occasional trip to visit, Harbor Weekly is your source for local news, community events, historical insights, food & wine recommendations, and neighborhood updates.
Come meet the people, see the establishments, and find out about the happenings that make the waterfront the place to be.

Statement on the Baltimore Harbor Pistachio Tide
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.
