Bayline Market is a seafood marketplace that serves as both a cultural anchor and a gathering place for Smith Island, Maryland. Honoring generations of watermen, it sustains the island’s fishing heritage and way of life while addressing the realities of rising seas. Elevated on pilings, the market is protected from floods and storm surges. Its modular and sustainable design allows it to be assembled quickly and disassembled just as easily, ensuring flexibility in an uncertain future while also serving as a civic space where traditions are shared with visitors.
