David M Rosser appears here in film, “Operation ZAP” (1974) about the preparations for ZAP Day (9/9/1972) in RI. He was the visionary, operations planner, and Blackstone River advocate who put his words into action. He was the executive director of ⁦@TheBRWA⁩ from 1970-1975

The #CleanWaterAct became law on 10/18/1972. For the Ocean State ⚓, the 50th anniversary of this law’s enactment has special significance. With 400+ miles of coastline 🌊 + Narragansett Bay as its centerpieces, our environment is the cornerstone of our quality of life. (1/10)

Today my wife & I had the pleasure of joining a flotilla of canoes and kayaks coming down the Blackstone River. Some started on Thursday at the headwaters in Worcester. I am so impressed with their passion and dedication to the health & restoration of this river. Thank you!!!

In mid-August, the Blackstone Watershed Collaborative — led by @StefanieCovino M.S./ES&P ’15 — sponsored a four-day, 60-mile paddle down the #BlackstoneRiver. The expedition was designed to draw attention to the environmental threats facing this historical waterway.

For Denise Flynne, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, canoeing takes some help and planning. But a new program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is helping her and others get out on the river. https://t.co/4i3ROpwAHB

🎉 13 years ago co-founder Frank Carini and I flipped the "PUBLISH" switch and @ecoRInews was born, weighing just a few megabytes. The early years were a whirlwind, but I'm proud of what we've built for and with our community.
