Annual Marine Mammal Safari

At Marine Mammal Safaris

Good evening everyone,

I am back with more stories to tell. I had fun on the annual Marine Mammal Safaris, it was a little long but our crew made it for seven hours. The families and children were excited to see the seals, stripe fish and gulls around Boston harbor. It was fun interacting with the kids on the boat because the kids had a huge smile to play around on the boat and see the creatures in the sea. I was so surprised that there were seals in the Boston harbor, I never knew that they would be around Boston. I always wanted to see one close but not the one at the Aquarium-- I wanted to see close to the boat. I wanted to know how long they would swim for and how many minutes they would last underwater. It was so amazing seeing one because in the summer they won't come out, the water is too warm for them to swim here at Boston Harbor.

Seals on Boston Harbor

Sincerely,

Carlos Garcia

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.
