LAST Week Of SH/SB

Hey everyone again! It's Thi, a junior program assistant. This is the last week of programs at Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay. I am very sad that it is ending so soon. I have had so much fun working here this summer. All of the sites have had some really unique kids and awesome ocean life. I have especially enjoyed taking kids out on a cruise to the harbor islands (George's and Spectacle). It was not so bad that Boston dumped all their trash on Spectacle because we were able to get some of our kites up to tremendous heights standing up on top of all that buried garbage.

At times, our kites have rivaled some of the planes taking off out of Logan. We have also had lots of fun on our adventures throughout Fort Warren on George's Island. I also had a lot of fun at Camp Harborview and Quincy. Catching fish was a blast! I don't want this week to end!!!

All the best,

Thi

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.
