Year 2: Yahoo

Hey Everyone!!, My name is Madison Murphy and this is my second year with STH and I am so excited to be back! A little about me... I recenlty graduated from Sacred Heart University in CT with a bachelors of science in Marine and Coastal Science with a minor in dance! My junior year of college I was able to study abroad for a whole semester in Dingle, Ireland which was such an amazing experience! In college I was a member of the preprofessional dance company, in Kappa Delta sorority, part of the environmental club, a global ambassador, and also was part of the kickline team. During my time at SHU I volunteered my time to work at a local awuarium helping guests touch and experience our animals. Recently I was hired as a 7th grade science teacher in Everett and if it wasnt for the love I have for working with STH and educating the public on the importance of science and our beaches I wouldnt have been able to acheieve it! I am so excited to be back for year two with STH especially at Camp Harborview! I love working at CHV because the staff over there intertwines with our energy so well and I can see how excited the kids at the camp get to come fishing with us! I am also so excited to have Ari as my LHE as last year being her LHE we got to form such a great bond and friendship and I love seeing her grow as a leader. I am so excited to see what the future holds and to see how this summer goes!! Its been great catching up and I hope to see you on the water soon!

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.
