Project to reduce pollution in upper Buzzards Bay waterways moves ahead with $419K grant
The waterways of the upper portion of Buzzards Bay — the Agawam River and Wareham River, Buttermilk Bay and Little Buttermilk Bay, Sippican Harbor, Aucoot Cove, and the Weweantic River — make up one-third of the entire Bay watershed. And every single one is on the state’s “dirty waters” list due to nitrogen pollution.

To help clean up these upper Bay waterways, the Coalition is spearheading an innovative partnership that would reduce tens of thousands of pounds of nitrogen pollution each year by expanding world-class wastewater treatment to more upper Bay communities in Wareham, Bourne, Plymouth, and Marion.
