A Few Visitors!!

This morning was an extremely exciting morning over at the Bank of America Pavilion. Yesterday we baited our lobster trap with a mackerel (a type of fish) and this morning we hauled up the trap and found not 1, but 2 lobsters in the lobster trap. Not only were we able to share the lobsters we caught with the kids, but we were also able to share them with my hometown and Dorchester’s very own City Councilor Maureen Feeney!

It was great she was able to come and show her support. The kids enjoyed her presence. The kids were also enthused about watching the lobsters in the touch tank. One of the lobsters we caught was a decent size and the other was an infant. The kid's curiosity and interest was accompanied by many fun and interesting questions. One of the kids was a lobster "expert", so we let him answer the questions he knew. This was a fun learning experience for everyone. Let's hope we have another catch (or two) tomorrow!! I can't wait to see.

Until then,
Alice Binns

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.
