"Boston Harbor and
our vast ocean waters
have for centuries supported a variety
of marine uses, from waterfront
development and trade, to recreation and tourism. Today, the pressures on our oceans are greater than ever and this requires a new stewardship model
that protects our resources while continuing
to support and grow
our economy.
This major grant from the Moore
Foundation will bring
a wide array of
stakeholders together
to develop the
science and new
ocean management
framework necessary
to ensure a thriving
Massachusetts ocean
for generations to come."

- James Hunt, III, Chief of Environmental and Energy Services, City of Boston
