TBHA Policy
Statements
The Boston Harbor
Association is the leading advocacy organization working for a
clean, alive, and accessible Boston Harbor. TBHA comments
extensively during the environmental permitting process on
proposed projects along Boston Harbor to ensure improved water
quality as well as to realize public amenities along the
waterfront, ranging from public walkways to parks to special
destinations along the Harbor.
TBHA's policy
statements are carefully developed by TBHA Trustees, TBHA
Committees, and staff, with assistance from TBHA members who
have technical expertise. The Boston Harbor Association's
comments are carefully considered by regulatory agencies, and
it is not unusual for regulatory permits to include conditions
suggested by TBHA. For a copy of any of the comment letters
below or letters from previous years, please call us at (617)
482-1722 or email us at mail@tbha.org.
