Annapolis, MD, City Dock Resiliency Project

Since 1969, nuisance flooding in Annapolis, MD, has increased by more than 1,200% (38 flood days in 1969; 52 in 2019). This increase in flood days per year can largely be attributed to sea level rise. The Annapolis City Dock, which is part of the city’s historic, social, and economic center, is one of the most flood-prone areas. The excessive flooding continues to threaten community safety and the economic viability of nearby businesses.
