Rowe's Wharf

Sitting at the edge of the Downtown Waterfront, Rowe's Wharf faces flooding from storm surge and monthly king tides. As sea levels rise, water can overtop the existing harbor edge and push inland along Atlantic Avenue.

The city's plan raises and reinforces the harbor edge with an elevated, publicly accessible waterfront: a raised Harborwalk and integrated flood barrier that holds back surge while keeping the water's-edge open to the public.
