Built Environment Design for Climate Resilient Coastal Communities
Building off the momentum of the Built Environmental Design for Climate Resilient Coastal Communities Roundtable held in May 2023, Maryland Sea Grant is exploring options to continue this work in 2024.
Cambridge Climate Resilience Design Studio and Seminar Series, and Exhibition
Maryland Sea Grant has worked with DO Architecture Group and graduate students at Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University to launch a pilot design studio project focused on Cambridge, Maryland. The studio explored the relationships among architecture, culture, and urban form and focused on how to design for resilient communities in the future. Additionally, several webinars from key partners in the region helped frame the students’ designs.
Student Exhibition
Students will showcase their work, design process, partnership model, and steps forward during an exhibition in Cambridge, Maryland, on December 3. This exhibition is open to the public and free to attend.
Date: December 3, 2024
Time: 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
