The Coalition for Buzzards Bay works throughout the entire Buzzards Bay watershed to protect the region’s coastal, river, and drinking water quality and the upland forests, wetlands and streams that support a healthy ecosystem.

Our advocacy objective is to pursue the restoration and protection of the Bay ecosystem through direct citizen advocacy and through the regulatory and legal process at the local, state and federal levels by focusing efforts on the issues of sprawl and nutrients.

Our research objective is to better understand the Buzzards Bay ecosystem and its response to human–related impacts in order to guide restoration and protection.

Our education program is focused on creating an informed public today and a generation of future Bay stewards who will understand the Buzzards Bay ecosystem (how it works, how it is threatened, and their place in it) and will support its restoration and protection.

Our conservation program, through our Bay Lands Center, aims to enhance land acquisition in the Buzzards Bay watershed by serving as a coordination, service, and financial arm for local land trusts. Our work is often collaborative, bringing together an array of private and public partners to encourage Bay-focused watershed land protection.
