Save Buzzards Bay. That’s been our mantra since our founding in 1987 and we have advocated for the Bay ever since. Each day, we come to work prepared to fight the threats of the moment.
The concerns have changed throughout the years. The devastating oil spills that plagued Buzzards Bay are no longer the threats they once were because of the successful campaign we led to secure one of the strictest oil spill prevention laws in the country. The gains we have made in improving bacterial and toxic pollution were offset by the increasing threats of nitrogen pollution. As we make inroads in addressing nitrogen pollution, we find ourselves staring into the effects to the Bay from warming water and rising sea level.
Our advocacy work depends on sound science. Our nationally recognized water quality monitoring provides the longest running data set in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and informs the stances we take and the strategies we adopt. It takes us from the courtroom to the Federal government to the State House to the city and town halls of our watershed towns with a single-minded focus: Save Buzzards Bay.
