Field Study of Fairhaven Estuarine Wetland

Locally, the open-water wetland in Fairhaven known as the “cove” or the “lake” is prized for its aesthetic value as well as its abundance of waterfowl, birds, plants and other wildlife. Regionally, the cove may be one of the few estuarine wetlands in Anne Arundel County that has not been significantly impaired by development. AHB is working to preserve and protect this ecosystem.

In 2009, AHB commissioned a field assessment of the wetland by W.S. Sipple Wetland & Environmental Training and Consulting.
