A Long and fun Monday

Today Ross, Rob and I were at East Boston. The kids there were so active and excited. When we first got there we played a game of capture the flag. It was really fun and the kids seemed like they really enjoyed it. After our fun game we went down to the dock to crabbing, on the little rafts, or to just see w

hat we could find around the dock.

The kids really liked being on the rafts. They also liked seeing what they could find around the dock with the dip nets. They mainly found mussels, seaweed, anthropoids, and a whole bunch of other critters. After our fun journey down at the dock the kids wanted to get wet because it was so hot out. So we took all of the kids to the water fountain. They had a lot of fun there getting wet and being able to cool off in the cold water. I also had a lot of fun today.

Hoping for more fun days to come

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.
