Volunteer at the Coalition for Buzzards Bay

The Coalition for Buzzards Bay is just one of the many conservation and environmental organizations on the Cape & Islands that leans upon the hard work and generosity of volunteers to help fulfill its mission.

Founded in 1987, the Coalition for Buzzards Bay is a “membership-supported non profit organization dedicated to the restoration, protection and sustainable use and enjoyment of our irreplaceable Bay and its watershed. The Coalition works to improve the health of the Bay ecosystem for all through education, conservation, research and advocacy.”

At the moment, volunteer opportunities at the Coalition include:

•  Baywatchers: Help monitor harbors, coves, and rivers of the Bay

•  Baykeeper Support: Help keep the Bay clean by providing pump-out service to boaters in Cuttyhunk

•  Office Support: Help with office reception and membership mailings

•  Beach Clean-Up: Help clean the Bay’s beaches

•  Swim Buzzards Bay, July 19, 2008: “Each year swimmers participate in a 1.2 mile open-water swim across outer New Bedford Harbor. The funds they raise to support their swim, along with the public awareness generated from the event, make for a great day for Buzzards Bay. Volunteers are needed to swim, as well as help organize, promote and ensure the event goes off without a hitch.”
