Healthy Harbor Discovery Tour

Explore life below the surface aboard the Snow Goose!

This spring, join Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for an evening on the water.  On board the Snow Goose, a Chesapeake Bay workboat, you will participate in a guided tour, lead by the ship’s crew and the Healthy Harbor Initiative.
