33,500平方米（36万平方英尺）的规划提出了一种水族馆设施间新的和谐关系，将目前至于中间的城市港口内的船坞改建为一个3,500平方米（3.7万平方英尺）的城市湿地。以工作室的话来说，“通过为游客和公众提供户外教育和社交场所，该规划同时改善了当地的生态环境，创建了校园的概念，加强了连通性，并扩展了水族馆在该地区不断增加的保护工作。”

关于室内，Studio Gang 整体修改了人流路线，以增强访客通过景点和设施的流动。船坞两侧的设施都将能开发作为教育空间。码头3将提供全球“希望点”（值得保护珍贵的生态系统）的游览，而码头4将用作观察 Chesapeake 湾流域，吸引游客前往美国最大且脆弱的河口生态区的不同区域。此外，教育实验室和教室将整合在展览中，会强调水族馆的保护工作。

“通过加强城市和水生生活之间的联系，我们的战略总体规划支持水族馆未来的成功和‘从根本上改变人们对海洋的看法和关心’的目标。” 工作室说。目标是将国家水族馆定位为在水质，保护，健康港口以及全球水族馆的可持续性和实践方面的领导者。
