New Intern: Rish Narayanan

Hi all! My name is Rish and I am the Communications, Media, and Events intern for Fall 2017. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology and hope to pursue some type of masters in marketing and communication. My dream is to be involved with marketing, events coordination, and communications for an environmental conservation driven non-profit, and that’s how I found myself at Save the Harbor! I moved to Boston after graduating from Clark University in Worcester to get to know its local non-profits and cultural institutions before getting my graduate degree. I've also been at Save the Harbor for a little less than a month now.

There are three things always on my mind: birds, video games, and food. I am a bird mom and have cared for birds for over 13 years. Right now, I have a 2 year old pineapple green cheek conure who is my absolute sunshine! I’m also a huge gamer and can be found glued to a TV for hours (trying to get through The Last of Us right now, having a hard time emotionally). In terms of food, recommend a spot that has pescatarian, nut free options and I'm there (seriously, please recommend some). I love the city life and culture of Boston, and am absolutely ecstatic to be interning at STH. I’ve already been able to go on trips to Carson Beach and Georges Island, and have learned more in 3 weeks than I could have imagined. STH has given me the opportunity to learn about the environment, local marine life, communications, media, press, and more. I can’t wait to absorb as much as I can!

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.
