Since breaking ground in October, construction at Buzzards Bay Coalition’s Mattapoisett Bogs wetland restoration site has made considerable progress.

The Buzzards Bay Coalition has commissioned Newport’s IYRS School of Technology & Trades to construct a new replica lifeboat for the Horseneck Point Life-Saving Station.

Two key projects, one complete and one in progress, will preserve a total of 436 acres of land in the Mattapoisett River Valley and Dartmouth’s Paskamansett River Valley, protecting local public drinking water supplies. 

Over a decade in the making, a new report entitled “Cranberry Agriculture and Water Quality in Buzzards Bay'' addresses the role that cranberry bogs play in the management of nitrogen and phosphorous in our region.

The Marsh Island Salt Marsh Restoration Project’s first phase of construction is now complete, revitalizing six acres of the salt marsh at the site.

This fall saw 260 enthusiastic students disembarking from school buses and stepping onto the shores of Buzzards Bay, ready for a full day of immersive outdoor learning at the Onset Bay Center.

Construction to restore natural habitats at the retired cranberry bogs will begin on October 16 at Buzzards Bay Coalition’s Mattapoisett Bogs property at 141 Acushnet Road. Trails will be closed during this time.

After a summer full of rainy weekends, 390 riders enjoyed a crisp and clear fall day at the Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride on Sunday, October 1. 

Buttonwood to Bay Project Manager Dan Goulart shares exciting updates on the project’s latest initiative along Kempton Street and the north end of Buttonwood Park.

The Coalition’s acquisition of the 27-acre Wide Marsh Farm in Fairhaven will help protect valuable adjacent salt marshes by giving them protected space to move to over time.
