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 to achieve its mission through education, advocacy, and habitat restoration and monitoring

Description:
Save The Bay is committed to fostering a personal connection between people and Narragansett Bay and encouraging investment in the Bay’s future.

Save The Bay and its supporters are an active force in southern New England, working to PROTECT, RESTORE and EXPLORE Narragansett Bay and its watershed. Together, we:

Advocate for better Bay management on the local, state and federal levels.

Restore Bay habitat — salt marshes, eelgrass beds, fish runs and shorelines — to healthier and functioning conditions.

Encourage discovery and knowledge of the Bay through our educational programs.

Seek to create a community of Bay citizens who will preserve the Bay for generations to come.

History:
Save The Bay was founded in 1970 by a group of concerned citizens who united to oppose the building of an environmentally destructive oil refinery in Tiverton. During the past thirty years, our organization has grown into Rhode Island's largest non-profit environmental agency. Save The Bay is opening its new building at Fields Point in Providence
in the spring of 2005.
