Messy Monday at the Museum

This week I'm back at the children's museum and the weather has been very cooperative with us. This week the water wasn't looking so good and we barely caught crabs, but luckily we caught just enough so show the kids. You can identify green Crabs by their five points in the front which ironically spell out "GREEN". But, of course they couldn't believe it when we told them they were caught just out here in the Fort Point Channel. On Mondays the Boston Children's Museum has an event outside called “messy Monday's” not only do they get messy but they are definitely creative and have as you can see in the photo of the left. This is a wooden block with colorful paper that pop up with hearts and so much more. I thought it was very clever to have the kids make their own masterpiece.

Hey everyone,

I'm Isabella in the picture on the left with sunglasses on and that's Khar on the right, if you did not know, and I'm here to share my inner thoughts on some things I think about. Have you ever seen those cartoons with animals that talk? Well, what if fish could talk? What if every time they're flapping when we reel them up they're really talking to us. You know how some animals are able to communicate, what if one day you could communicate with them? What would you do? What would you say? Well one thing I would say to them is that they are very fascinating the way their scales shimmer in the light. I would say: "Hey! Mr. Fish, how's the water down there?" (Hahaha, good one Isabella.)

In this photo on the left here is Sarah(standing on the right holding a crab) a very enthusiastic co-worker and friend. And in this very moment we were joking around with the crabs as Khar was talking about why don't villains stroke their crabs as villainy as Sara did. Although it was both corny and funny the crab did not enjoy it and almost snipped Sarah. She then placed it back in the bucket where I am standing. If I could talk to a crab I would say: "Hey! Mr. Crab, why are you so crabbbby? Hahaha!

Talk to you 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.
