Mattapoisett Land Trust, with the support of the Coalition and the town of Mattapoisett, has preserved 120 acres of woods and wetlands around the salt marshes of Pine Island Pond.

Over the next two years, a new project will study disappearing salt marshes from two angles: analyzing how fast we are losing Bay salt marshes, and testing a potential solution to help them.

Through a series of workshops this winter, the Coalition will examine how to reduce nitrogen pollution from small composting practices.

Pedaling beneath sunny skies and moderate winds on a cool fall day, cyclists broke records for both participation and fundraising at the 13th annual Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride, held on Sunday, October 6.

The project to preserve this property will nearly complete the protection of natural lands surrounding the Dike Creek salt marshes, creating an extraordinary contiguous area of conservation land.

This former auto salvage yard on the Acushnet River will play an important role in the larger cleanup of New Bedford Harbor, and will one day be transformed into a public park.

Westport's year-round population is growing rapidly, which means more people using septic systems. Nearby waterways are showing clear signs that too much nitrogen is reaching their ecosystems.

The station saw nearly 600 visitors of all ages between the end of June and the end of August.
