Around 150 people are getting ready to jump into the Baltimore Harbor this Sunday, June 23, at the Bond Street Wharf in Fells Point. It's all part of the first-ever "Harbor Splash" event. The event sold out in 10 minutes with 1,000 people still on the waitlist, hoping they get a chance to plunge. Eric Schott is one of the 150 people jumping into the harbor Sunday morning. "I've been fascinated with the ecology of the harbor since I moved to Baltimore 28 years ago and I’ve watched it get cleaner and cleaner." Schott, the associate research professor for the Institute of Environmental and Marine Technology, said. "I've seen the city reduce sewage imports by 97%. I’ve seen trash disappear and I just trust it's clean enough when we have the right data." The Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore is hosting the event to celebrate the progress of the harbor's water quality.
