Happy #WaterkeeperWednesday!💦

Getting on the water is the perfect opportunity as #Coastkeeper to really understand the features, uses, and pollution sources of the watershed. Here I am w/ intern Maggie Summer 2024 paddling the Chipuxet River and Wordens Pond @WpWildRivers

Happy #WaterkeeperWednesday!
💦 One of my most important tasks as Coastkeeper is monitoring water quality in my watershed.
🧪 It tells us about the water chemistry & can help understand ecosystem health.

Tonight, the shoreline access bill cleared the House! Kudos to the RI General Assembly for passing legislation to restore the public’s right to shoreline access! This is a historic victory for the people of the Ocean State—hundreds of whom used their voices to advocate for this.

Shore access bill passes R.I. Assembly in historic step for Ocean State https://t.co/BSbxMCx4hT via @BostonGlobe

[South County Coastkeeper: Dr. Catie Alves @CoastkeeperRI]

This is HUGE! RI’ers will have more clear guidelines about where to exercise their constitutional rights to the shoreline!

[Brian Amaral @bamaral44]

House passes shore access bill. 69-0, unanimous. "I do think this is historic," said @TerriCortvriend.

Senate already passed it, now goes to the governor.

Save The Bay joined the Wood-Pawcatuck Wild and Scenic Rivers Stewardship Council, and the Town of Exeter to install a rain garden of native plants at the Exeter Town Hall.

“A 32-person staff for the agency responsible for managing the coast in the Ocean State is an embarrassment. To flatline this agency’s budget is unacceptable.” Topher Hamblett of @SaveTheBayRI on @RI_CRMC https://t.co/eLaSxgh8Um

Shoreline access bill passes unanimously in the @RIHouseofReps for the second year in a row. Now it’s the @RISenate’s turn. REEEEEALY hoping they can work out a good compromise. 😬🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻 This is too important. @TerriCortvriend @SaveTheBayRI
