Fishing 101 Graduation

Hey this is Alex, one of the Junior Program Assistants at SH/SB. Today, Rob, Conor, BJ, Tommy, and I officially graduated from Fishing 101. It took us some time, but Conor was able to reel in a moderately sized Choggie (at first we thought it was a Pogie). After examining the fish and making a few discoveries about it (it had plastic-like fins with sharp points on the end) we threw the fish back in the harbor. We were ready to continue with our success and catch many more fish, but the elements did not permit. I am excited to go out again and catch a few on my own. Now that we are graduates of Fishing 101 with Bruce, we are ready to share our knowledge with all the kids at Fishing 101 at the Children's Museum this summer.

Over and out,
Alex Klein

Welcome!

Welcome to Save the Harbor / Save the Bay's Boston Harbor blog "Sea, Sand & Sky".

Save the Harbor/Save the Bay is a non-profit public-interest Boston Harbor environmental advocacy organization whose mission is to restore and protect Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay, the Boston Harbor Islands, the Boston Harbor region's public beaches, Boston's waterfront and the marine environment and share them with the public, for everyone to enjoy.

Since 1986, Save the Harbor / Save the Bay has been the driving force behind the transformation of Boston Harbor from one of the dirtiest urban harbors in America to one of the cleanest in the world.

As a result of our advocacy, Boston Harbor has been transformed from a "Harbor of Shame" into a source of recreational, educational and economic opportunity and civic pride. Today the beaches of South Boston are among the cleanest urban beaches in the nation, the Boston Harbor Islands are a National Park, and Boston's waterfront has become a compelling destination for residents and visitors alike.

Working with a broad base of civic, corporate, government, scientific, philanthropic and community partners, Save the Harbor / Save the Bay continues to strengthen the connections between communities and the harbor, and promote the increasingly important impact Boston Harbor has on the region’s economy.

Each year Save the Harbor / Save the Bay runs 2 free Youth Environmental Education Programs that combine recreation and hands-on education to bring Boston Harbor alive for thousands of Boston area young people. Since 2003, we have connected nearly 250,000 youth and teens to Boston Harbor, the Boston Harbor Islands, our region's public beaches and Boston's waterfront.
