The Coalition has broken ground on our newest permanent facility: a field operations center that will serve as a centerpiece for all our environmental science and land stewardship work.

The Coalition is a strong supporter of the Round Hill salt marsh restoration project because it has a myriad of benefits for our local environment as well as for Dartmouth residents.

This summer, the Coalition permanently conserved two treasured coastal farms in Fairhaven and Dartmouth to protect clean water, preserve coastal habitats, and create new places for people like you to explore.

A recently completed land conservation project in Wareham is bringing together three parts of the Community Preservation Act – land conservation, outdoor recreation, and affordable housing – to benefit Wareham residents.

We now have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve this beloved landscape forever to protect clean water in Nasketucket Bay, conserve coastal habitats, and open it up for people to enjoy.

This month, the Coalition partnered with the P.J. Keating Company to add 21 acres to the Acushnet River Reserve's expanding network of protected forests, fields, and wetlands.

Data collected over the past 25 years offer a snapshot of the decline of river herring and hint at possible solutions to bring their populations back to health in Buzzards Bay and beyond.

Over the past 15 years, the Coalition has worked in close partnership with the towns of Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Marion, and Rochester to forever protect 1,468 acres of forests and wetlands in the Mattapoisett River Valley – a rate of nearly 100 acres per year.

Local conservation commissions play a vital role in our effort to save Buzzards Bay by upholding the laws that protect wetlands.

For fourth-graders in New Bedford Public Schools, beach walks with the Coalition as part of the city’s Sea Lab program are opening a new window to learning, exploration, and imagination on Buzzards Bay.
