The mission of Save The Bay is to ensure that the environmental quality of Narragansett Bay and its watershed is restored and protected from the harmful effects of human activity. Save The Bay seeks carefully planned use of the Bay and its watershed to allow the natural system to function normally and healthfully, both now and for the future.

In defense of Narragansett Bay and its watershed, Save The Bay’s actions include:

  • Watching over the activities and programs of government and the citizenry that degrade the environmental quality of the Bay, basin, and watershed.
  • Leading the community by initiating programs and activities that increase the environmental awareness and knowledge of the public.
  • Initiating action that will directly clean up the Bay.

Our Mission

We do this by:

  • Sharing resources and ideas with member organizations;
  • Raising public awareness of watershed issues; and,
  • Building effective relationships with our state and local decision-makers.

WAA is made up of eleven organizations from across Southeastern Massachusetts.
