Our Restoration Work

The Bay Coalition has several active restoration projects in the region that restore critical natural areas such as rivers and wetlands:

• Acushnet River Restoration - This project will restore stream banks, wetlands, and upland forest along the Acushnet River and create a public resource with walking trails.
• Marsh Island in New Bedford Harbor - This project will restore a salt marsh on a 22-acres site in the heart of New Bedford Harbor. The marsh was filled in almost a hundred years ago.
• Sippican River - The Bay Coalition has a top-to-bottom restoration plan to improve the health of the Sippican River.
