Tide Talks #7 -- Between Boundaries: Addressing An Environmental Problem Across State Lines

Tide Talks: the Save The Bay Podcast

Hundred Acre Cove is a one-square-mile estuarine cove bordered by Rhode Island and Massachusetts on either side. Save The Bay must now negotiate across state lines to alleviate bacterial pollution that has closed the cove to shellfishing since the 1990s. Waterkeepers Mike Jarbeau and Kate McPherson join the show to discuss Save The Bay’s ongoing project to create a restoration plan. A successful project would benefit three watershed communities and set an example for similar collaboration projects in the future. This project is supported by the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) Watershed Grants. SNEP Watershed Grants are funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through a collaboration with Restore America’s Estuaries. For more on SNEP Watershed Grants, see www.snepgrants.org
