TheBRWA

The Blackstone River Watershed Association’s mission is to engage, educate and advocate for improved water quality in the Blackstone River Watershed.

Used disposable masks belong in the trash! Rain could wash discarded masks into storm drains that flow directly to local lakes, streams and wetlands. When discarded masks enter water bodies, they can harm aquatic life and diminish the quality of our water supply.

So appreciative to @SenMikeMoore @Muradian4Rep for celebrating our 50th Anniversary and presenting a beautiful citation from the Mass House and Senate!

[Today's Storm] Light rain overpreads the region this morning, but heavier showers move in by early afternoon. Some flooding of clogged storm drains is possible, along with minor coastal flooding. A period of gusty winds could produce sporadic tree damage in SE Mass as well. 🌧️

Earlier today @auburnmassfire responded mutual aid to the City of #Worcester to assist @WorcesterFD with @MassDEP Emergency Response Trailer for an oil spill in the #Blackstone River behind Walmart. DEP has called in a vacuum truck from a third party cleanup contractor.

Answer to our earlier question about fish sleeping... They do, just not as we do! Most don’t have eyelids and have to stay moving for oxygen to be able to flow through their gills. However, there are periods of the day where you... https://t.co/jSidjpAhS2

Do Fish Sleep?
Here's a good question for the kiddos on vacation... BRWA is constantly working to protect the fish in the Blackstone, but do these guys ever sleep? What do you think?
