Save The Bay is hiring a full-time South County Coastkeeper

ABOUT SAVE THE BAY

Save The Bay is an independent, member-supported, nonprofit organization. They got their start as a grassroots organization in 1970, when a small group of concerned citizens came together to fight an oil refinery proposed for the shores of Tiverton. Their work began our legacy as the eyes, ears and voice for Narragansett Bay. Today they carry out their mission through three areas of work: advocacy, education, and habitat restoration and adaptation.
