Westport Fishermen’s Association leaves a legacy of clean water
|
Over its 35-year history, the Westport Fishermen's Association leaves a legacy of impressive accomplishments to restore and protect the Westport River: Creating a bacteria monitoring program that allowed the river’s closed shellfish beds to reopen, stopping the river's largest-ever source of pollution, pushing for lasting policies to protect the river’s shoreline from development, and much more.
Last fall, the WFA merged with the Coalition. We're proud to carry on the WFA’s legacy to reduce pollution and restore and protect aquatic habitats for the fish, wildlife, and people of Westport and all of Buzzards Bay.
