Massachusetts Bays Program

The Massachusetts Bays Program is one of 28 EPA National Estuary Programs. The Massachusetts Bays region covers over 800 miles of coastline, from the tip of Cape Cod Bay to the New Hampshire border, and serves 50 coastal communities through five regional coordinators.

 

The NSRWA hosts the Mass. Bays South Shore Regional Coordinator, Sara P. Grady.  The South Shore region encompasses twelve communities from Hull to Plymouth, including eight within the North and South Rivers watershed. The Massachusetts Bays Program works with these communities to implement the Mass. Bays Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan, a list of actions intended to protect and restore our coastal ecosystem.

Massachusetts Bays Program activities on the South Shore include fish passage and habitat restoration, water quality monitoring, efforts to prevent and reduce stormwater pollution, marine invasive species surveys, and educational outreach, along with any other projects pertaining to coastal issues on the South Shore.
