Sea, Sand and Sky: Hi there

Hi there

Hi! My name is Andrew Bauld, and I'm a first year Senior Harbor Educator this summer at Save the Harbor. I've been lucky enough to spend most of life near a body of water. I'm from the great state of New Hampshire and grew up on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, NH. My love of the sea began at early age when I performed as the "Sea Urchin" in a second grade play about marine life. Ever since I've been hooked. In between, I've had many watery adventures, from sailing aboard a 137' schooner, to deep sea tuna fishing Oceanographer's Canyon, to spearfishing in the Bahamas.

Since graduating from Tufts University in 2007 with a degree in English, I've taught 5th and 6th grades at an elementary school in Massachusetts. I love working with kids and getting to share with them my passions, ranging from 20th century literature to the Boston Red Sox to the history of the New England whaling industry. I've also coached school basketball and tennis teams, and served as an advisor for student government.

In my spare time I enjoy running, golfing and playing tennis, reading, cooking, and fishing (of course). This summer I'm most excited to get to spend my days at some of the most beautiful places in Boston and explore them with some great kids and coworkers!

Cheers to the start of a great summer on the harbor!

-Andrew

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.
