Salt marshes across Buzzards Bay are experiencing significant stress from climate-change driven sea level rise, but also a range of factors that include tidal restrictions and nitrogen pollution.
The Buzzards Bay Coalition is pleased to announce that it is accepting proposals from organizations – including community and neighborhood groups – and individuals for initiatives focused on addressing climate change and other environmental improvement projects. A total of $25,000 will be awarded among multiple recipients.
Among the historic buildings and commercial fishing vessels that populate New Bedford Harbor's shoreline, Marsh Island has stood out as a rare, undeveloped stretch in this maritime hub.
The Buzzards Bay Coalition is a membership-supported organization dedicated to improving the health of the Buzzards Bay ecosystem for all through education, conservation, research, and advocacy.
We work to protect clean water on the Bay and on the land:
