Annapolis has already installed a pump system which is helping keep the city
dock dry during minor flood tides. For several years, Buckley has been moving
ahead with a nearly $100 million plan to make the Annapolis waterfront more
resilient.
“We’re going to raise city dock 6’we’re going to make a
park instead of a parking lot. In the middle of that park is going to be a
beautiful fountain, but that park is actually the barrier against sea level
rise. So, this city dock will no longer flood," he said.
He is
facing a current of opposition from historic preservationists and is still
lobbying for more federal funding to get it done; in recent weeks he created a
tiny beach in a parking lot to make the point the water is rising. He
also flies a “Don’t give up the dock” flag, a play on the Navy's “Don’t give
up the ship” slogan.
