The
Boston Harbor Association (TBHA) is a non-profit, public interest
organization founded in 1973 by the League of Women Voters and
the Boston Shipping Association to promote a clean, alive and
accessible Boston Harbor. TBHA brings together diverse interests
-- harbor users, environmentalists, developers, waterfront businesses,
and decision makers -- to develop balanced solutions for maritime
industrial activities, commercial development, environmental
protection, and public access around Boston Harbor.
TBHA cares about Boston Harbor as New England's maritime port,
as a recreational and tourist asset, and as the centerpiece
of the area's natural and urban environment. TBHA advocates
for greater public access and open space along Boston Harbor,
promotes the Port of Boston's economy, educates urban youths
about Boston Harbor and related career opportunities through
our Harbor Bound program, promotes affordable public water
transportation throughout the Harbor, monitors water quality
improvements, and works for the restoration of Boston Harbor
Beaches.
