Boston
Harbor Education Programs for children and adults.
The
Boston Harbor Association's Boston Harbor Curriculum Guide is an
excellent resource for middle school teachers, students, and
parents.
Marine
Debris Cleanup Program:
In partnership with the Massachusetts Coastal Zone Management Program, Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, City of Boston’s Environment Department, Massport, and Eastern Salt Company, The Boston Harbor Association managed the Summer
2004
Marine Debris Cleanup Program. Now in its
sixth year, the program is designed to make Boston Harbor safer for marine life, swimmers and boaters by removing floatable marine debris from the Harbor.
Through early September, a boat will pick up debris in Boston Harbor and parts of the Charles River and Chelsea Creek. During the past
four summers, more than 130 tons of debris have been removed from these waterways. A final report on this year’s program will be available in November.
Designated Port Area study:
TBHA’s comprehensive study about designated port areas (DPA’s) provides detailed information about the current state of Boston’s DPA’s and the challenges faced by the region’s marine industry.
Chelsea Creek Activity Guide:
The Chelsea Creek Activity Guide, available in both English and Spanish, is a fun way to inform young people Chelsea Creek’s history, natural environment, and importance to industry.
