Save The Bay - Narragansett Bay

Save The Bay - Narragansett Bay Save The Bay protects, restores, and improves the ecological health of the Narragansett Bay region. Our history is one of accomplishment for the Bay.

Save The Bay was founded in 1970 on the community’s desire to protect our most precious resource - Narragansett Bay. To do that, Save The Bay has focused on the development of a committed constituency for the Bay. Children and adults throughout this region have learned the tremendous value the Bay brings to our economy, our environment, and our quality of life. In defense of Narragansett Bay and i

ts watershed, Save The Bay has watched over the activities and programs of the government and the citizenry that degrade the environmental quality of the Bay, basin, and watershed. We provide educational opportunities for children and adults to explore the Bay, fostering an understanding and a sense of personal responsibility for the resource. Once choked by raw sewage and dying a slow death from industrial toxins, the Bay is now making a strong comeback. There is still room for improvement, but more people than ever before are able to swim, fish, sail, and enjoy the waters of Narragansett Bay. What follows is a timeline reflecting Save The Bay’s history and charting important milestones we have achieved toward protecting Narragansett Bay.

Meet swimmer Matthew McKee! 🏊‍♂️

“I started open water swimming as a New Year’s resolution. I set a goal of swimming from Newport to Jamestown as a bucket list item. I have always been grateful to Save The Bay for being the catalyst starting my journey. My life lesson is to try new things no matter how old you are (I was 45) - the next greatest thing may be waiting!”
