Boston Harbor Now

Boston Harbor Now is stewarding the waterfront, harbor and islands. Boston Harbor’s waterfront provides a gathering place and welcoming front yard for everyone.

The waterfront is both a lively destination for cultural and recreational offerings and a robust center of maritime economic activities. Our people and places are prepared for a rising sea, living with it where possible, protecting or retreating where necessary.
