Then What Happened?

This summer was amazing. Harbor Explorers has given me great memories, new friendships, and I just found a fishing lure that went through the laundry for the 19^th time. Thank you to everyone who made this a memorable, exciting summer.

The Harbor Explorers team this summer was incredible. I would like to thank you all for your help and guidance. Your dedication and enthusiasm to share the Harbor with the children of Boston was demonstrated every day. Our junior staff was the heart and soul of the Harbor Explorers program. You all did an exceptional job this summer, and I know you will go on to do amazing things. Any crew is only good as its fearless leader, so this post would not be complete without giving a big shout out to my favorite Canadian (just squeaking out Jason Bay), Janet. Thank you for making this program so successful, fun, and exciting. Thank you all. See you on the Harbor.

Peace,

Jason

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.
