Boston Harbor Now is a newly-created civic organization focused on integrating Boston Harbor, its waterfront and its islands into the fabric of Boston and our region.
Boston Harbor Now is the result of a merger of two key players in the transformation of Boston Harbor—Boston Harbor Island Alliance and The Boston Harbor Association—and builds on their combined 60 years of experience working to clean up Boston Harbor, revitalize and promote access to the waterfront, and establish and activate the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park.
Boston Harbor Now strives to create a diverse and inclusive workplace that values each member of the team.
