Marine
Debris Cleanup Program:
In partnership with the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, City of Boston, Massport, and Eastern Salt Company, The Boston Harbor Association is now managing its Summer 2005 Marine Debris Cleanup Program. Now in it’s sixth year, the program is designed to make Boston Harbor safe for marine life, swimmers and boaters by removing floatable marine debris from the Harbor.
Throughout the summer, the Marine Debris boat will pick up debris in Boston Harbor and parts of the Charles River and Chelsea Creek. During the past five summers, more than 170 tons of debris have been removed from these waterways.
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.
