SWIMMING =D

Hey everyone again! It's me, Thi, a Junior Program Assistant for SH/SB.
On Monday, I went to Quincy and Camp Harbor View. I had a great time!
At Quincy, I helped the kids learn how to fish (even though we only caught kelp), caught a few feisty crab

s, and played a game of Sharks and Minnows.
At Camp Harbor View, I caught more crabs and someone caught a FLOUNDER!! It was the first time I saw someone catch a fish and it was fun!! As a special treat, the people at Camp Harbor View told us that we could swim if we got a life jacket. At first, Ross and I were reluctant to go because we didn't have a swimming suit. But as the day wore on, it got more warmer. So, we just decided to do it. We went down to the dock and where Ross cannonballed into the water. We cooled off and had a really great time swimming. I can't wait to do it again!

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.
