Sea, Sand and Sky

Thursday, August 20, 2009

I went to East Boston Outreach for the first time with Laura and really enjoyed it. The kids were having the time of their life digging for crabs and clams. I was enjoying myself as much as them. I also was located at the East Boston site were it was impossible to stay dry, complements to the campers, but that was something to look forward to after playing games with them in 92 degree weather. Also I was at Camp Harbor View were the heat was on ... The coolest place was under the dock. While trying to stay cool we were looking for crabs and succeeded. We caught over 20 green crabs. Overall the most enjoyable would have to be East Boston Outreach, just the smiles and the excitement on the campers faces. Watching water squirt from the clams that we soon dug up was very fun and kept me on my feet .....

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.
