Back to the Bays Stewardship Program
Much of what we do through CCE Marine Program's Back to the Bays Initiative is centered around stewardship - the act of caring for of our natural environments. The work we accomplish annually at our Back to the Bays Stewardship Sitesis having a meaningful impact on water quality improvement, marine and coastal habitat restoration, clam and bay scallop population enhancement, and expansion of oyster reefs in our bays.
