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.
