Thank you Eli Rosenberg and NBC Boston Stations for reporting on our latest grade on the cleanliness of the Charles River. We have been working with USEPA every year to use our data (collected by our amazing volunteer monthly monitors) to issue a grade of the Charles River, so that the public can see how close we are to achieving the promise of the Clean Water Act of "fishable, swimmable" rivers. We are not there but with public support for the necessary additional investments, particularly around reducing stormwater runoff and sewage discharges, we will get there. CutTheCrapCharles.org to take action! https://lnkd.in/esqsa_kv
The grades are in! We are excited to share the latest US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Quality Report Card grades for our beloved Charles River alongside the Mystic River Watershed Association and Neponset River Watershed Association. 📝 This year’s report highlights our progress and ongoing challenges in ensuring clean and safe rivers across the Commonwealth. We acknowledge the strides made since our "Dirty Water" days, but there's more work ahead. Thank you to all our partners, volunteers, and community members for your continued support. Let’s keep striving for cleaner, healthier rivers! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e7Hw2NeD
As tropical storm Debby moves past Boston with minimal impact, it's a crucial moment for all of us to reflect on our storm preparedness strategies. ⛈ The Bay State Banner newspaper has rightly highlighted the importance of storm readiness in light of increasing storm and flood frequency due to climate change.
