Sustainability Program Overview
MPA’s commitment to sustainability offers a balance of strengthening the local economy, protecting the environment, and supporting the community, which is foundational to MPA’s culture and values.
MPA is uniquely positioned to conduct its port operations in a region with exceptional natural resources, strong environmental values, and an engaged and active community. Across all functions of its maritime operations, strategic planning, business practices, and outreach efforts, MPA is firmly committed to integrating sustainability.
MPA and its terminals are situated along, and are inextricably connected to, the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. Alongside this connection, MPA continues to support economic vitality and is equally committed to advancing a sustainable future for the port alongside the environment and neighboring communities.

Growing Greener Communities Near the Port
MPA is supporting local organizations in expanding tree canopy in communities near the Port of Baltimore. Over the next two years, the initiative will support the planting of up to 13 acres of trees through the Climate Pollution Reduction Program.
Funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program, this $1 million investment will support the planting of 800 trees across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. The effort will expand urban tree canopy, improve air quality, and strengthen climate resilience in port-adjacent communities.
