Boston Harbor Now is stewarding the waterfront, harbor and islands. Boston Harbor’s waterfront provides a gathering place and welcoming front yard for everyone.

The waterfront is both a lively destination for cultural and recreational offerings and a robust center of maritime economic activities. Our people and places are prepared for a rising sea, living with it where possible, protecting or retreating where necessary.

We know that change on this scale takes vision, investment, persistence, and people willing to work together -- Kathy Abbott, President and CEO of Boston Harbor Now

Just a few days left to weigh in on Boston’s future waterfront—there’s still time to make your voice heard! 🌊

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and City of Boston are developing a plan to protect Boston’s coastline from flooding and rising seas, and public comments are due September 18.

Boston Harbor Now has outlined what we think is important to getting this plan right, from protecting the entire coastline to creating a more accessible, natural, and resilient waterfront.

Read on to learn about the plan, how you can shape it with your feedback and comments, and how Boston Harbor Now is responding!
