Inclusive. Equitable. Accessible. Clean. Safe.
Let’s make Boston Harbor’s
amazing beaches better.
Save the Harbor/Save the Bay is the region’s leading voice for clean water and continued public investment in Boston Harbor, the region’s public beaches, and the Boston Harbor Islands.
Since 1986, our mission continues to restore and protect Boston Harbor, Massachusetts Bay, and the marine environment, and share them with the public for everyone to enjoy.
Save the Harbor is committed to making Boston Harbor, the Islands, our beaches, and our programs inclusive, equitable, diverse, and accessible for everyone and anyone.
We provide free programs, events and create opportunities for people to experience Boston Harbor and our spectacular urban natural resources first hand, with an emphasis on breaking down barriers of race, language, income and ability.
