The 2020 Harpoon Shamrock Splash season begins! What team are you on?

It’s officially Splash season! Thank you to the more than 60 Splashers and supporters who joined us last night at the Harpoon Brewery Beer Hall for our Splash kickoff event. While drinking Harpoon beer and munching on homemade pretzels, we discussed our plans for the 10th annual Splash. From a new social media toolkit for extra fundraising to amazing new beach decorations day-of, we’re cooking up something special this year and can’t wait to see you there!

If you still haven’t marked your calendars, the 2020 Splash will be taking place on Sunday, March 8 at the BCYF Curley Community Center at M Street Beach in South Boston. Registration will begin at 10 a.m., with the Splash beginning at 11 a.m. sharp. Other activities include a costume contest and awards ceremony, all at Boston’s best winter beach party.

Still haven’t registered? Well, what are you waiting for? You can sign up online for $20 at www.shamrocksplash.org. Your registration includes beer from Harpoon Brewery, chowder from The Daily Catch, and other refreshments on the beach. We’ve also got incentives during Splash season and at the party itself for our fundraising champions out there.

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.
