All Access Boston Harbor 2010

Hi everyone! My name is Caitlin and I’m the new programs and events intern for Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. I want to tell you about All Access Boston Harbor, a fun and FREE opportunity for youth organizations to spend a day on the water at one of the Boston Harbor Islands. On every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from July 6 through August 19, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay will be sponsoring day trips to both Georges and Spectacle Islands.

In the past years the kids have had an amazing time!

If you’re interested in touring the historic Fort Warren, exploring underground tunnels, or catching fish, Georges Island is the place for you to go this summer! If kite flying, miles of hiking trails, and lounging on sandy beaches is more your style, you should sign up to come with us on a trip to Spectacle Island! Reservations for the trips are required and space is available on a first come first serve basis, so don’t wait!

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.
