Buzzards Bay Coalition 2013 Annual Report

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR

It is our pleasure to share this 2013 Annual Report with you – our members and supporters who have done so much to create the Buzzards Bay Coalition of today.

2013 was an exciting year of action and engagement on a wide range of issues and the year found us reaching to all corners of the Buzzards Bay Watershed to improve the quality of our waters and our communities.

Far upstream, where Buzzards Bay begins in Middleborough’s forests and wetlands, we created a new model of cooperation with hunters, town government, and state wildlife officials to close one of the largest land conservation deals in our history. We fought hard for a better cleanup of toxic pollution in New Bedford Harbor and introduced every fourth grader in the city’s public schools to the wonders of their local beaches. We opened new River Reserves for the public to explore in Acushnet, Mattapoisett and Wareham. And we won key victories to secure financial support to accelerate nitrogen pollution cleanup in Cape Cod’s sensitive harbors and coves.

All of this activity is bound together by our commitment to a complementary suite of programs – Engaging People, Protecting Water, Saving Land – that we believe are vital to the long-term protection of this Bay.

But, the programs and victories celebrated here in this Annual Report are but a glimpse of the exciting work taking place every day at your Buzzards Bay Coalition. We are blessed with a wonderfully talented staff, dedicated Board of Directors and tireless volunteers. But it is you – our growing family of members and supporters - who make it all possible.

One of the chief motivators that drives our work is the scientific fact that Buzzards Bay is far from beyond repair. As a community, it is within our power to craft a better future for our rivers and streams, harbors and coves. This remains the exceptionalism that defines Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound when compared to the deplorable state of other East Coast estuaries. We are empowered by this tremendous opportunity every day.

We cannot lose this opportunity to Save Buzzards Bay! Hopefully, these pages will inspire you to consider new ways in which you might get more involved. This is Your Bay and we are honored to work on your behalf for its improvement and protection.

We want to close with a sincere thank you to Tom Gidwitz who stepped down in 2013 as Chair of the Coalition Board of Directors. Tom led the Board through a period of explosive growth – closing our $11.2 million Campaign for Buzzards Bay and moving us into our new award-winning headquarters. He is also the humble mastermind behind the Buzzards Bay Film Festival. Tom, you are an inspiration to all of us at the Coalition. Thank you!

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT:

Buzzards Bay Swim and Watershed RideOn August 21, 1994, seventeen people waded into the waters of outer New Bedford Harbor and swam to the other shore to make a positive statement about the value of clean water. Little did they know that, 20 years later, swimmers would still be crossing the harbor every summer in an event that has grown into one of the region’s premier outdoor activities and a true celebration of Buzzards Bay.

On July 13, 2013, the Coalition celebrated the 20th Buzzards Bay Swim. A record 326 swimmers signed up to make the 1.2 mile crossing from New Bedford to Fairhaven, cheered on by hundreds more volunteers and well-wishers. With the help of their friends and family, these swimmers raised $135,000 for the Coalition’s work.

The growth of the Swim has been tremendous, especially over the past three years when long-time swimmer Larry Fish challenged the Coalition to double both participation and fundraising. In 2013, because of the incredible enthusiasm of swimmers and their supporters, we met that challenge, earning an additional $25,000 from Larry Fish each year of the challenge while bringing the event to a new level.

The success of the Buzzards Bay Swim helped spawn a second signature outdoor event for the Coalition: the Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride, an annual bike tour across the region held each autumn. On October 6, 2013, 130 cyclists pedaled from Westport to Woods Hole to highlight the critical role that the watershed’s fields, forests and towns play in maintaining a healthy Bay. Their dedication to the Bay raised $65,000 to protect clean water and the natural places in the many communities they rode past that day.

What will the Swim and Watershed Ride look like in another 20 years? Our vision for the future is grand, and you are a part of it. Get involved in this year’s Swim and Watershed Ride as an athlete, volunteer, or supporter. Visit www.savebuzzardsbay.org/Swim or www.savebuzzardsbay.org/WatershedRide.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT


In January, Wareham became the first community in the Buzzards Bay watershed to require nitrogen-reducing septic systems for new development. This historic action – supported by years of community engagement spearheaded by the Coalition – not only safeguards water quality but also sets an example for other communities. Across the Bay, Falmouth completed a Comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan to support infrastructure investments to stop nitrogen pollution.

At the regional level, Cape Cod communities took a major step forward in addressing their crippling nitrogen problems. Under the guidance of the Cape Cod Commission and with $3.35 million in state funding, the region is developing an Areawide Water Quality Management Plan, or 208 Plan, that will highlight how communities can work together to solve the nitrogen pollution crisis. The plan and grant funds were a direct, and very positive, response to Coalition legal action.

The state and federal government are closer to meeting their requirement to create nitrogen limits, or TMDLs, for several Buzzards Bay estuaries. In 2013, final nitrogen pollution cleanup studies were issued for the Westport Rivers, Slocums River, Nasketucket Bay, Quissett Harbor, Wild Harbor, and Rands Harbor/Fiddlers Cove. New Bedford Harbor and the Wareham River received draft reports. The Coalition is pressuring the state and federal government to issue TMDLs for these areas as soon as possible. Additionally, seven more local waterways are now on the regulatory path to recovery after Coalition data led to the estuaries being added to the state’s list of impaired waters.

The Coalition continues to provide communities with sound science to make decisions. More than 100 new Bay Health signs went up across the region, displaying local water quality data collected through the Baywatchers monitoring program. We also sampled six different cranberry bogs as part of a two-year research

The impacts of nitrogen pollution – cloudy water, algae blooms, and fish and shellfish losses – have crept into Buzzards Bay’s harbors and coves over the last several decades. Just as the decline has been slow and subtle, recovery will also take time. The Coalition is committed to speeding up that recovery and in 2013 there were many important victories at the local, regional, state, and federal levels that advanced our fight against nitrogen pollution.

study to better understand the cranberry industry’s impact on the nitrogen pollution problem. The study is being conducted in partnership with the Marine Biological Laboratory, the town of Carver, the UMASS Cranberry Experiment Station and the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association.

In 2013, the Coalition also stayed strong on our goal to eliminate toxic pollution from the region’s waterways, most notably in New Bedford Harbor. In September, we argued in federal court that a settlement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and AVX, the largest company responsible for the harbor’s PCB pollution, was not enough to provide a proper cleanup. Although the court ultimately approved the settlement, we will use science and community support to continue to fight for a clean, safe harbor and stand up for better cleanup plans from the EPA.

We also remained vigilant against the constant threat of oil spills from barges traveling through Buzzards Bay. Today, the Bay is guarded by the Massachusetts Oil Spill Prevention Act (MOSPA), which the Coalition helped pass in 2004. But the Coast Guard has repeatedly tried to replace the state law with weaker federal rules, most recently in July. The Coalition responded with detailed comments stating that Buzzards Bay deserves the protection of MOSPA. The comments echoed a 2013 National Academy of Sciences peer review that was critical of the Coast Guard’s position.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

The ponds and forests of the Wankinquoah Rod & Gun Club in Middleborough are now permanently protected by a Conservation Restriction acquired by the Coalition in 2013.


In 2013, the Coalition brought together a unique partnership of sportsmen from the Wankinquoah Rod and Gun Club, town officials, and state agencies to protect over 350 acres of watershed land in Middleborough, far from the shores of Buzzards Bay. Most of this land, which sits near the headwaters of the Sippican and Weweantic rivers, is now permanently protected through a conservation restriction held by the Coalition. Land was also added to the Rocky Gutter Wildlife Management Area, providing better access for hunters, mountain bikers, and wildlife enthusiasts to enjoy the outdoors.

In addition to the land protection success in Middleborough, 2013 saw gains in protecting more of the region’s most fragile natural areas. The Coalition placed conservation restrictions over more than 121 acres of land along the Slocums, Weweantic, and Mattapoisett rivers and in Quissett Harbor. Also, the Coalition made significant progress toward completing the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project when Fairhaven and Mattapoisett Town Meetings committed funds to the project, which will protect over 410 acres of coastal land. In 2014, the Coalition looks to complete this historic land conservation project with additional community support and private donations.

Think of the Buzzards Bay watershed as a mosaic made up of forests, fields, wetlands, rivers, streams, and the communities we call home. Connecting all of these pieces is water: falling on the Bay as rain on a warm summer evening or drifting down as snow on a field many miles from the shore. Our work to protect the Buzzards Bay watershed is focused on keeping this water clean, no matter where it falls.

While continuing to conserve land to protect our water resources, the Coalition made incredible progress restoring damaged habitats around the region. The Acushnet Sawmill restoration project is steaming ahead with the removal of two acres of pavement and thousands of invasive plants. Some days, as many as ten trucks and thirty workers have been on site during this final phase of restoration, which will stretch though the spring of 2014. Restoring the Acushnet Sawmill will not only help improve the health of the Acushnet River, it will also provide an outdoor oasis where members of the community can walk, bike, launch a canoe, and enjoy nature in the middle of an urban neighborhood.

In Dartmouth and Falmouth, the Coalition led an innovative salt marsh restoration project to remove acres of invasive Phragmities australis. With the support of local residents near Salters Pond in Dartmouth and Flume Pond and Gunning Point Pond in Falmouth, this three-year project will remove the aggressive plant and allow native vegetation to return, helping these coastal ponds to thrive once again.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Kids get an up-close appreciation for the wetlands at the Coalition’s new Mattapoisett River Reserve on a program with Senior Educator Margo Connolly-Masson.


That is starting to change through programs like Learn to Quahog, one of more than 40 Bay Adventures the Coalition offered in 2013. Bay Adventures connect local residents to their environment by featuring special places and unique outdoor activities. In 2013, nearly 600 people participated in a Coalition-led Bay Adventure.

Bay Adventures aren’t the only way the Coalition helped people get out and explore. In 2013, we launched an interactive online map at www.savebuzzardsbay.org/FindAnAdventure that features 200 locations around the watershed where people can hike, bike, boat, swim, fish, view wildlife, and simply enjoy nature. More than 1,000 people have already visited this map to find locations to explore.

In addition to highlighting great places that already exist, the Coalition opened three new river reserves with signage, parking areas, and exciting programming for children and adults. These properties include The Bogs and Tripps Mill, which are part of the Mattapoisett River Reserve; Horseshoe Mill in the Weweantic River Reserve in West Wareham; and LaPalme Farm, part

of the Acushnet River Reserve along with The Sawmill, which will open in summer 2014.

On a clear, warm October day, Coalition Senior Educator Margo Connolly-Masson stood in front of a group of twenty-five local residents along the shore of Sunset Cove in Wareham. Wearing chest waders and holding a clam rake, Connolly-Masson asked if anyone knew what a quahog looked like. “Only stuffed!” one woman replied. Her joke rang true for many local residents: Even though more shellfish beds are open today because of pollution cleanup successes, fewer people are out digging for the iconic clam.

Our river reserves are the newest additions to the Coalition’s growing network of Bay Discovery sites. They join the Richard C. Wheeler Bay Learning Center in New Bedford and the Buzzards Bay Discovery Center in Woods Hole, which continued to see growth in 2013. Over 6,500 people visited the centers to learn how to explore and protect Buzzards Bay.

The Coalition also continued to support the region’s decision makers in government and business through a workshop series that provided solutions to nitrogen pollution. More than 80 decision makers from across the region came together to learn about innovations in wastewater treatment technology, landscape management, and planning and funding.

Today’s children will be tomorrow’s decision makers, which is why the Coalition continued its strong youth education programs in 2013. Through more than 200 fun, engaging programs, over 3,000 children explored beaches, salt marshes, forests, and wetlands across the region. Through a partnership with Massachusetts Service Alliance, the Coalition hosted two Commonwealth Corps service members who, among their achievements, brought every fourth grader in the New Bedford Public School system to the shores of Buzzards Bay to explore East Beach in New Bedford.

BUZZARDS BAY GUARDIANS HONORED AT THE COALITION’S 25TH ANNUAL MEETING

A guardian is someone who protects, defends, and champions something they believe in. Each year, the Coalition recognizes Buzzards Bay Guardians who have demonstrated outstanding service for Buzzards Bay. Guardians may be citizens, volunteers, organizations, or public officials – but all are unsung heroes who deserve recognition for their achievements and inspiration to others.

In 2013, the Coalition presented two Guardian Awards to recognize government leadership in addressing nitrogen pollution from septic systems, the most serious problem facing Buzzards Bay.

For jumpstarting a region-wide Cape Cod Water Quality Management Plan (aka 208 Plan), helping to accelerate estuary restoration reports and regulatory cleanup targets for Buzzards Bay’s harbor and coves, and supporting a permit to cap nitrogen pollution into West Falmouth Harbor, the Coalition honored Ken Kimmel, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

TREASURER’S REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2013 (JULY 1, 2012 - JUNE 30, 2013)

The FY2013 and FY2012 Financial Statements were audited by the firm of Hodgson, Pratt & Associates PC, New Bedford, MA.

The work of the Buzzards Bay Coalition continues to benefit from the incredible support of its membership and supporters. At June 30, 2013, the Coalition’s financial position remains strong with net assets over $8 million and a $2M endowment fund.

Support for Coalition core programs was up 10% from the prior year and our signature Ride and Swim events generated a 34% increase in Events income. This increased engagement with the

community ultimately supports all of our fundraising efforts, particularly by attracting future members, volunteers and donors.

Operationally, we closed the year on a break even basis as budgeted. We drew down funds from the Campaign for Buzzards Bay (2008-2011) to fund the program growth and initiatives envisioned by the Campaign. It was this planned draw down which resulted in the $509K deficit. We will see a similar accounting loss in the coming fiscal year as reserves raised through the Campaign continue to be spent as planned. We strive to make every dollar count, and we are proud to be able to say that 90% of every dollar raised or earned in FY13 went directly to program work.

The Coalition has a very capable staff, a dedicated Board of Directors, and most generous supporters. This is a dynamic and exciting organization. I am very confident we will continue to be a strong force for the Bay’s preservation.

Copies of audited financial statements are available upon request.
