The "Simply Marble-ous" Treasure Hunt is Underway!

Help Save the Harbor Find Our Marbles!

Find a marble on a Boston area beach from now until Halloween and you could win a pair of round-trip JetBlue flights* to any domestic destination they serve from Boston's Logan Airport as part of the 2015 "Simply Marble-ous" Treasure Hunt.

Buy a virtual marble here for just $10 by October 31st
and you could be this year's lucky winner!

Boston's Mayor Marty Walsh found his marble at the End of Summer Beach Party
at the BCYF Curley Community Center at M Street Beach in South Boston.
You can find yours on a public beach from Nahant to Nantasket.

It is free and easy to enter the contest. Over the past few year's we have released hundreds of blue, blue and white or white and blue marbles on beaches from Nahant to Nantasket
as part of our Better Beaches Program.

Find one on the beach, take a photo of yourself with the marble and post it on Save the Harbor's Facebook page or email the photo with your contact information to
info@savetheharbor.org and you could be the winner!

If you don't find a marble on the beach, you can still join in the fun!

The "Simply Marble-ous" Treasure Hunt began in 2012 at a beach clean-up led by JetBlue crew members and Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. The more than 100 participants spent the day doing 5 weeks worth of maintenance at DCR's Carson Beach Reservation in South Boston. When they were finished, they released marbles into the water for Boston beach-goers to find - starting a tradition that continues to this day.

There are still hundreds of marbles waiting to be discovered on
Boston area beaches this year so get busy. The winner will be chosen on October 31st.

*To any domestic destination they serve from Boston's Logan Airport.

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.
