It is our great pleasure to share this 2014 Annual Report with you – our members and supporters – whose outstanding support and passion made possible such amazing achievements over the past year.
We have never been more enthusiastic about the work this organization does every day to accelerate the protection and restoration of the Bay. From landmark land preservation around unique Nasketucket Bay, to collaborative research with cranberry farmers, on-the-ground demonstrations of innovative nitrogen pollution reduction, persistent legal defense of oil spill prevention laws, and dramatic growth in community engagement programming, the Coalition’s work in 2014 found us reaching all corners of the Buzzards Bay watershed to improve the quality of our waters and our communities.
Yet 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 hope you share our pride in this work and the scale and impact of the Coalition’s accomplishments this year.
This year also saw the completion of the Coalition’s “Strategy 2015-2020: Our Commitment to Restore Clean Water and a Healthy Buzzards Bay for Everyone.” Over the next five years, the plan will guide our actions to tackle head-on the challenges facing the Bay and our local environment through major new initiatives focused on People, Land and Water.
The theme of “Resilience” binds together our new Strategic Plan’s natural, human and organizational goals. Resilience to adapt and endure, to grow and persevere, to restore the Bay and build an organization so that both can weather new threats and thrive for generations to come. That is our challenge, but more importantly, our tremendous opportunity. We are excited about the work ahead and about the privilege to partner with all of you to make it happen. Thank you!
In closing, we want to pause to recognize the deep sadness we all feel at the loss of Chip Morse of Quissett this year. Chip served on the Coalition’s Board of Directors for 11 years and co-chaired our transformative $11.2 million Campaign for Buzzards Bay between 2008-2011. He was a dear friend and his impact on this organization and the Bay we protect will be felt for generations.
FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR
Laura Ryan Shachoy Chair, Board of Directors

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT: NASKETUCKET BAY
Coalition completes largest land conservation project on Buzzards Bay in 25 years
Imagine a warm, clear summer morning. You get on your bike, ride a few miles down a bike trail, and then hop off for a two mile-long hike. You meander along farmland, through lush forests, over streams, and across a salt marsh until you reach a beach that looks like it hasn’t seen visitors in years. In front of you is blue water full of fish and shellfish with birds soaring overhead.
Now imagine that you, your friends and your family will be able to enjoy this place forever.
You no longer have to imagine. In December, the Coalition completed the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project, protecting 416 acres near Nasketucket Bay in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett. This is the largest land conservation project on Buzzards Bay in 25 years and it’s completion makes this vision a reality.
Nasketucket Bay has some of the cleanest water in Buzzards Bay. This is mainly because of significant local land conservation efforts. Now, one of the largest remaining natural areas surrounding Nasketucket Bay is permanently protected from development that might have harmed this special corner of the Bay.
This project also expanded conservation land around Nasketucket Woods, including a trail that links the Mariner Youth Soccer fields to new trails at East Fairhaven Elementary School.
The Coalition is creating a new hiking trail that connects the popular Phoenix/Mattapoisett bike path with the State Reservation.
Nasketucket Bay State Reservation is a crown jewel of the state park system. Because of this project, the reservation has nearly doubled in size.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 3
On Cape Cod, residents and stakeholders from all Cape communities participated in an intensive, year-long effort to create a clean water action plan – a long-overdue requirement of section 208 of the Federal Clean Water Act. In October, the Cape Cod Commission released a draft plan that’s designed to give communities the tools needed to reduce nitrogen pollution. The Coalition, which pushed in court for the plan’s completion, participated in the planning process and provided detailed comments on the draft. The final plan is due in spring 2015.
Stopping nitrogen pollution will require many different solutions. The Coalition and local municipalities are testing innovative approaches under a new grant program from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Through projects at Kingman Marina in Cataumet and on West Falmouth Harbor, the Coalition is targeting the biggest source of nitrogen pollution to the Bay: residential septic systems. These projects will help residents in these areas tie into advanced nitrogen-reducing systems that will significantly reduce pollution to local harbors. In addition, Fairhaven and Wareham received grants aimed at reducing nitrogen from their wastewater treatment plants.
Whether you’re paddling the calm waters of the Westport Rivers, sailing out of West Falmouth Harbor, or fishing in the coves of Wareham, the effects of nitrogen pollution are all around us. To address this, 2014 was a year of significant action towards tackling the Bay’s biggest pollution problem. Across the region, a combination of planning, research, and innovative projects crafted a new path forward to restoring clean water in your community.
In Carver, Plymouth, and Wareham, the Coalition continued its work with the UMass Cranberry Station and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole to better understand the impact of cranberry bogs on nutrients in Buzzards Bay. At the same time, our Baywatchers program – which completed its 23rd year of monitoring in 2014 – is expanding thanks to a grant from the MacArthur Foundation. In partnership with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Coalition will lengthen our monitoring season, collect more data, and better assess how global warming is exacerbating the Bay’s existing nitrogen problem.
The Coalition is also continuing to fight to keep the Bay safe from oil spills. More than a decade after the devastating effects of the Bouchard B-120 spill, the U.S. Coast Guard and the oil transport industry are hoping our memories of that event are fading. In 2014 they unsuccessfully pushed to weaken the Massachusetts Oil Spill Prevention Act, which has protected the Bay from a major spill for years. The Coalition and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are continuing to fight in court to defend the Bay.
In addition, the Coalition has partnered with the New Bedford Harbor Development Commission, local public safety agencies, the U.S. Coast Guard, and commercial fishermen to secure funds for a pilot project to reduce the chronic “mystery” oil spill problem in New Bedford Harbor.

After a multi-year restoration effort, you will soon be able to enjoy this journey yourself at the restored Acushnet Sawmill. The Coalition removed old pavement, recreated natural riverbanks, and replanted dozens of species of native plants and trees. And with new walking paths, scenic overlooks, interpretive signs, and a canoe and kayak launch, visitors like you will soon be able to explore and enjoy this new park in the heart of the city.
As the Coalition wraps up the Acushnet Sawmill restoration, we are taking the lead on another unique restoration project in Westport. On the western side of the mouth of Westport Harbor lies a barrier beach that leads out to the dramatic Point of Rocks, also known as the Knubble. This barrier beach protects the Westport River inlet and provides an outstanding view (see at right) of the entrance to Buzzards Bay. It’s also a sensitive area with a fragile beach and dunes that are vulnerable to erosion. Working with the town, neighbors, and community groups, the Coalition is coordinating a plan to restore the dunes and improve access so all Westport residents can enjoy this special place.
In New Bedford’s busy North End, the sound of traffic fades away as you stroll up to a stone wall. Just beyond, the Acushnet River flows past sloping meadows and quiet forests. Leaving the hectic city behind, you make your way along winding paths that cross over the river and through the woods. Within just a few minutes, you’re standing on the river’s shore watching ospreys soar overhead, herons fish in the marsh, and fish jump from the water.
The Coalition’s efforts to restore the lower Weweantic River took a major step forward with a grant from the Bouchard B-120 Trustee Council. The restoration will remove run-down remnants of an old mill at the mouth of the Weweantic, allowing migratory fish, as well as kayakers and fishermen, better access up and down Buzzards Bay’s largest river.
When measured by acres, 2014 marked one of the most productive years for land conservation in Coalition history. The cornerstone of those efforts was the Nasketucket Land Conservation Project, a collection of 416 acres of conserved lands in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett (see program highlight on page 1). Across the Bay, we also helped protect seven acres of pristine beach and dune habitat at Black Beach in West Falmouth (see photo at left).
The Coalition has now protected over 7,200 acres in the Buzzards Bay watershed in the last two decades. In 2014, we added to our legacy by becoming an accredited land trust, meeting high standards for organizational
strength and fiscal responsibility set by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission. This is the highest recognition that a land trust can receive, held by less than 20% of conservation organizations in America.
WATERSHED PROTECTION
Canoeing, fishing, walking, and birdwatching are just some of the activities you will be able to enjoy when the Acushnet Sawmill opens to the public this year.
The Coalition is working with the town of Westport to restore the Knubble barrier beach and provide access for all Westport residents.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 7
With amazing natural areas spread across the region, students and teachers don’t need to go far to find great places to explore. In 2014, more than 3,000 youth discovered Buzzards Bay through one of the Coalition’s field programs. At Rochester Memorial School, students and teachers looked for signs of life in the woods. In Wareham, students searched for crabs at a salt marsh just steps away from their school. And in New Bedford, every fourth grader learned how to identify scallops, quahogs, and oysters at East Beach.
The Coalition is also working to create unique outdoor learning spaces that both teachers and families can use. Last fall, the Coalition led East Fairhaven students on their first outdoor exploration program using new trails behind their school. They crossed streams, stood on tree stumps, and discovered a whole world in their own backyard. The trails – the result of a collaboration between East Fairhaven Elementary School, the Fairhaven Community Trails Network, and the Coalition – are a model for other schools across the region.
Kids weren’t the only ones who explored the outdoors in 2014. The Coalition hosted over 50 Bay Adventures for more than 850 people. Participants snorkeled through eelgrass, dug for clams, marveled at seals, and much more.
What makes a classroom a classroom? Is it desks stocked with pencils, paper, and rulers? Is it four walls covered with posters and chalkboards? Or is it simply a place where curiosity is fostered, lessons are learned, and discoveries are made? The Coalition is redefining the classroom for both kids and adults by turning forests, beaches, and salt marshes into resources for learning and for developing a life-long love of our local environment.
While our programs continue to grow, so do the number of places where you can get out and explore. The Acushnet Sawmill is slated to open in 2015 (see page 5) and the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project (see page 1) greatly expanded recreation opportunities in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett. We also welcomed over 7,000 people to the Wheeler Bay Learning Center in New Bedford and our Discovery Center in Woods Hole.
In New Bedford, the Coalition and local partners helped expand opportunities for outdoor exploration and conservation by securing passage of the Community Preservation Act (CPA). The CPA creates a dedicated fund of up to $1 million per year for community preservation projects in the city, from protecting natural areas to improving access to the outdoors.
2014 marked the fourth year of our popular Decision Makers Workshops for business and municipal officials. We continued to provide solutions to nitrogen pollution through workshops on nitrogen-reducing septic systems, communicating about nitrogen pollution, and protecting clean water while supporting responsible real estate development.

12 | BUZZARDS BAY COALITION12 | BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
As the sun dawned brightly on June 28, 2014, 210 swimmers
swam 1.2 miles across outer New Bedford Harbor to
celebrate clean water in Buzzards Bay. Participants ranging
in age from 12 to 74 showed their support for the Coalition’s
work by raising over $100,000.
Four swimmers rose to meet another exciting fundraising
challenge by raising $5,000 each – a new milestone for the
Buzzards Bay Swim. This achievement by Matt Shenker,
Tony Garro, Dan Vasconcellos, and Bill Muldoon secured a
$10,000 matching gift from longtime swimmer Larry Fish
of Falmouth.
The clear, smooth waters of Buzzards Bay made for
near-record times that morning, with Alex Gallant of

2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 15
On a beautiful fall day in October, 130 cyclists took to the
roads of the Buzzards Bay watershed to bike for clean water
during the eighth annual Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride. The
event, which attracts riders of all ages and skill levels, raised
over $75,000 to support the Coalition’s work.
The 75-mile route started at Horseneck Beach in Westport
and passed through farmland, picturesque coastal villages,
cranberry bogs, and New Bedford’s waterfront before
stopping for lunch at Eastover Farm in Rochester. With
additional cyclists joining for a 35-mile option in Rochester,
the route continued over the Bourne Bridge and down
Falmouth’s Shining Sea Bikeway before ending in Woods Hole
with a spirited finish line party overlooking Quissett Harbor
and Buzzards Bay.
Whether you’re an avid cyclist or casual rider, join us
Sunday, October 4, 2015 for the ninth annual Watershed Ride.

wisdom, and a passion for
the Bay. As Co-Chair of
the Campaign for Buzzards Bay from 2008 to 2011,
Chip’s efforts helped transform the Coalition into
what it is today. In November, we had the pleasure
of honoring Chip by dedicating the Richard S. “Chip”

New Bedford – a lasting tribute to Chip’s significant
accomplishments on behalf of the Bay.

BUZZARDS BAY GUARDIANS RECOGNIZED AT 26TH ANNUAL MEETING
Protecting clean water is a community endeavor. At its 26th Annual Meeting in Falmouth on May 15, the Buzzards Bay Coalition recognized individuals and groups from across the Buzzards Bay watershed for their contributions to protecting and restoring the Bay during the last year. They received the Buzzards Bay Guardian Award, the highest honor granted by the Coalition.
John Ross of West Falmouth received a Guardian Award for his leadership on cleaning up nitrogen pollution in West Falmouth Harbor.
The Wankinquoah Rod and Gun Club in Middleborough was honored for conserving 350 acres of woods, ponds, and wetlands in the Weweantic River watershed.
Rich Packard of the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection was honored for his work to reduce the likelihood and impact of oil spills in Buzzards Bay.
In addition to the Guardian Awards, the Coalition honored students and teachers from Old Colony and Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High Schools as Volunteers of the Year for lending their carpentry, electrical, and plumbing skills to the renovation of a visitor center at the Acushnet Sawmill.

TREASURER’S REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2014 (JULY 1, 2013 – JUNE 30, 2014)
The FY2014 Financial Statements were audited by the firm of Alexander Aronson Finning CPAs, Westborough, MA.
The Buzzards Bay Coalition continues to benefit from the increasing support of our loyal members and supporters. As of June 30, 2014, the Coalition’s financial position remains strong with net assets of almost $8 million, and a $2 million endowment fund.
Support for Coalition core programs increased again this year by 13% and our signature Buzzards Bay Swim and Watershed Ride events generated a 35% increase in income. This increased engagement with
the community will ultimately support our other fundraising efforts, particularly by attracting additional members, volunteers, and donors.
Operationally, thanks to your generous support, we closed the 2014 fiscal year with a small surplus. As planned we drew down funds from the Campaign for Buzzards Bay (2008-2011) to fund program growth and initiatives envisioned by the Campaign. It was this draw down which resulted in the $398K deficit shown in our Financial Reports. 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 87% of every dollar raised or earned in FY2014 went directly into Bay protection and restoration programs.
The Coalition has a very capable and dedicated staff and most generous supporters. This is a very dynamic and exciting organization. I am very confident we will continue to be a strong force for Buzzards Bay’s preservation.
Copies of audited financial statements are available on our website and upon request.
