At our 31st Members’ Reception and Annual Meeting on May 21 at the Back Eddy Restaurant in Westport, the Coalition presented Michael Deland, Michael Gagne, and Wendy Northcross with Buzzards Bay Guardian Awards for their outstanding work to protect and restore the Bay. The work and leadership of these three individuals in preserving land, cleaning up pollution, and protecting the future of clean water has helped to ensure a healthier Bay.
A total of 65 town officials and industry professionals from around Buzzards Bay gathered this month for the Coalition-sponsored Decision Makers Workshops. These two free workshops focused on new wastewater systems that can reduce nitrogen pollution, and on how conservation commissions can protect the Bay’s important wetlands.
