Training Week

Hey everyone my name is Shanee Greenidge and I am a Junior Marine Educator new here at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay hoping to get a lot of experience here this summer.
My first day was great we went to Castle Island to go fishing and catch some crabs but we didn't have any luck. Hopefully these rainy days won't stop our work here at Save the Harbor.
I love it here because I get to work with kids who are both my age and and who are younger than me. I hope that I can teach the kids good things, what to do and what not to do.
What I hope to learn is more about Boston Harbor, and what I hope to see is kids learning how to do things they never did before, or me learning how to do things I never did, like picking up a giant lobster.
I can't wait for the real thing to happen, but I am still enjoying my training week with the rest of the Junior Staff.

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.
