Thank you Save The Bay - Narragansett Bay!

Here are 3 ways to help Save The Bay in 2025!

Through the committed actions of Rhode Islanders, Narragansett Bay is cleaner and healthier today than it was in 1975. But as we turn the corner to 2025, Narragansett Bay faces persistent challenges that threaten a swimmable, fishable Bay accessible to all. Save The Bay urges Rhode Islanders to support three initiatives in the coming year to face these challenges and to invest further in Rhode Island’s most important natural resource.

1. Save The Bay urges support of federal, state, and local efforts to respond to climate change.
2. Save The Bay believes that 2025 will be the year when the long-anticipated Coastal Resources Management Council reform will become law.
3. Save The Bay needs your help on the front lines of addressing the surge of plastic waste in our watershed.
