October at Spectacle Island

Last Saturday was a memorable day! We got to go on a free fall cruise to Spectacle Island. Although it was windy and cold, it didn't stop people from exploring the amazing island. Roughly 250 people showed up to spend the day with us. It was really fun and I got to re-unite with the staff from the summer program. We got to tell stories to the visitors with the help of Norah Dooley and we played a game called "Two Truths and a Lie" where you tell two things you did this summer, two things are true and one is a lie and people have to guess which one is the lie! When we got off the boat, everybody went on to do their own thing from picnicking on the grass to hiking to the top of the island. We followed Norah Dooley to the top of the island where she told stories about ghosts on Boston Harbor. Everyone was really interested in what she had to say and it was really cool to learn about ghost stories that take place right in Boston. Overall everybody had an amazing time and I'm really glad I got to be part of it again.

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.
