The Poplar Island Restoration Project emerged from an interagency partnership led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Maryland Port Administration (MDOT MPA)\, working alongside Federal and State environmental agencies. Recognizing the environmental value of restoring lost island habitat\, the team solicited extensive input from local communities\, businesses\, and environmental organizations through the Environmental Impact Statement process.  \nTheir solution was groundbreaking: use dredged material from the Port of Baltimore’s navigational channels to rebuild Poplar Island to its approximate 1847 footprint. After the first material was placed in 2001\, wildlife quickly returned—ospreys\, egrets\, terns\, herons\, eagles\, terrapins\, and more. Early restoration efforts focused on creating wetlands that naturally filter water and restore critical habitat for birds\, crabs\, fish\, and shellfish. Today\, the project exemplifies large-scale engineering\, environmental stewardship\, and the ongoing revitalization of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.  \n \n \n In-person tickets\n \n \n virtual tickets URL:https://amaritime.org/event/winter-lecture-the-poplar-island-restoration-project/ LOCATION:Annapolis Maritime Museum\, 723 Second st.\, Annapolis\, 21403\, United States CATEGORIES:Winter Lecture Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amaritime.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/poplarislandaerial.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260115T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260115T203000 DTSTAMP:20260422T073728 CREATED:20251204T201258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251211T160454Z UID:10000189-1768503600-1768509000@amaritime.org SUMMARY:Winter Lecture: Annapolis Goes to War DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Craig L.

A former Capitol Hill journalist\, Guay turned toward history and storytelling\, drawing on his work as a guide with the Charles Carroll House and Watermark Tours to bring colonial Annapolis vividly to life.  \nHis lecture examines a central question: Why—and how—did Britain lose her American colonies? Through the firsthand experiences of indentured servants who arrived in Annapolis during the Stamp Act crisis\, Guay explores the economic\, social\, and political pressures that transformed loyal subjects into reluctant revolutionaries.  \nA student of history at the University of Maryland under Dr. Gordon Prange\, Guay credits Barbara Tuchman as a major influence. Since moving to Annapolis in 1999\, he has been deeply involved in Chesapeake culture—as a sailor\, longtime Severn River Association board member and executive director\, advocate for habitat restoration\, and member of the Eastport Oyster Boys.  \n \n in-person tickets (SOLD OUT)\n \n \n virtual tickets URL:https://amaritime.org/event/winter-lecture-chesapeake-bound/ LOCATION:Annapolis Maritime Museum\, 723 Second st.\, Annapolis\, 21403\, United States CATEGORIES:Winter Lecture Series END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
