Back Again!

Hi Everybody!
  My name is Sam and this is my third summer with Save the Harbor! I'm so excited to be back and I can't wait to make some new memories.

Enjoying the beach even on my days off!

  Some fun facts about me:
    I absolutely love dogs and have one of my own named Mickaleen! I love to play soccer in my spare time and I've just started to learn to play rugby. I'm going to be a sophomore at UMass Amherst this fall and I graduated from the O' Bryant where Ms. Ryan was my teacher and softball coach!

     One of my favorite things about working with Save the Harbor is the impact you have on the lives of some of the kids. For some, it's just another field trip but for others it's a chance to experience something new. Last summer I had the chance to meet a young man who was on a field trip with his summer camp! He had never been on the harbor and had a bunch of questions of the different islands and the fish that lived in the water. He told me all about his sister and his parents and about his paintball gun and his bicycle. He asked me to eat lunch with him and his friends when we got to the island and they tried teaching me about different Pokemon (I didn't understand at all). On the way home from Spectacle I saw him and he told me all about his day! He told me about how he went swimming and tried fishing. He came back a few weeks later for a trip to George's Island and he got so excited when he saw me I just heard him yelling "Sam! Sam!". It was amazing to me that he remembered me and had even more questions and stories to tell me about! I can't wait to make some more memories like this one!

Have A Great Summer!
Sam

Fish Printing is for all ages

Hello Ladies and Gents

The fisherman is back in action this summer with plenty of fish prints while working on the fish pier from June 19-21, I had the chance to share the joys of fish printing with many visitors from all over the age spectrum! It was a great experience to work with the new and familiar staff from Save the Harbor/ Save The Bay.

Starting at around 11:30 AM, I would see these awesome smiling faces:

The Little man in the blue shirt was so excited to see how well the colors spread on the fish's scales.

He was so focused!

This little guy in the red shirt was so focused on making sure his fish came out nice and smiling on the inside, that he forgot to smile on the outside!

With the harbor winds coming and going, it did make hanging the fish prints to dry a little difficult. Luckily, we have yet to have someone end up with a splatter of our ink on their clothes.

If you're reading this and you didn't get a chance to fish print, all summer long we'll have events at various beaches and sites. So keep your eyes peeled for Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay events from Nahant to Nantasket! 

Have a great summer!
