It is our pleasure to share this 2013 Annual Report with you our members and supporters who have done
so much to create the Buzzards Bay Coalition of today.
2013 was an exciting year of action and engagement on a wide range of issues and the year found us reaching
to all corners of the Buzzards Bay Watershed to improve the quality of our waters and our communities.
Far upstream, where Buzzards Bay begins in Middleboroughs forests
and wetlands, we created a new model of cooperation with hunters, town
government, and state wildlife officials to close one of the largest land
conservation deals in our history. We fought hard for a better cleanup of toxic
pollution in New Bedford Harbor and introduced every fourth grader in the
citys public schools to the wonders of their local beaches. We opened new River
Reserves for the public to explore in Acushnet, Mattapoisett and Wareham.
And we won key victories to secure financial support to accelerate nitrogen
pollution cleanup in Cape Cods sensitive harbors and coves.
All of this activity is bound together by our commitment to a complementary
suite of programs Engaging People, Protecting Water, Saving Land that we
believe are vital to the long-term protection of this Bay.
But, 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 are blessed with a wonderfully talented staff, dedicated Board of
Directors and tireless volunteers. But it is you our growing family of members
and supporters - who make it all possible.
One of the chief motivators that drives our work is the scientific fact that Buzzards Bay is
far from beyond repair. As a community, it is within our power to craft a better future for
our rivers and streams, harbors and coves. This remains the exceptionalism that defines
Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound when compared to the deplorable state of other East
Coast estuaries. We are empowered by this tremendous opportunity every day.
We cannot lose this opportunity to Save Buzzards Bay! Hopefully, these pages will inspire you to consider
new ways in which you might get more involved. This is Your Bay and we are honored to work on your behalf
for its improvement and protection.
We want to close with a sincere thank you to Tom Gidwitz who stepped down in 2013 as Chair of the Coalition
Board of Directors. Tom led the Board through a period of explosive growth closing our $11.2 million
Campaign for Buzzards Bay and moving us into our new award-winning headquarters. He is also the humble
mastermind behind the Buzzards Bay Film Festival. Tom, you are an inspiration to all of us at the Coalition.
Thank you!

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT:
BAYKEEPER ADVOCACY
The impacts of nitrogen pollution cloudy water, algae blooms, and fish and shellfish losses
have crept into Buzzards Bays harbors and coves over the last several decades. Just as the
decline has been slow and subtle, recovery will also take time. The Coalition is committed
to speeding up that recovery and in 2013 there were many important victories at the local,
regional, state, and federal levels that advanced our fight against nitrogen pollution.
In January, Wareham became the first community
in the Buzzards Bay watershed to require nitrogenreducing septic systems for new development. This
historic action supported by years of community
engagement spearheaded by the Coalition not only
safeguards water quality but also sets an example
for other communities. Across the Bay, Falmouth
completed a Comprehensive Wastewater Management
Plan to support infrastructure investments to stop
nitrogen pollution.
At the regional level, Cape Cod communities took
a major step forward in addressing their crippling
nitrogen problems. Under the guidance of the Cape Cod
Commission and with $3.35 million in state funding,
the region is developing an Areawide Water Quality
Management Plan, or 208 Plan, that will highlight how
communities can work together to solve the nitrogen
pollution crisis. The plan and grant funds were a direct,
and very positive, response to Coalition legal action.
The state and federal government are closer to
meeting their requirement to create nitrogen limits, or
TMDLs, for several Buzzards Bay estuaries. In 2013,
final nitrogen pollution cleanup studies were issued
for the Westport Rivers, Slocums River, Nasketucket
Bay, Quissett Harbor, Wild Harbor, and Rands
Harbor/Fiddlers Cove. New Bedford Harbor and the
Wareham River received draft reports. The Coalition
is pressuring the state and federal government to
issue TMDLs for these areas as soon as possible.
Additionally, seven more local waterways are now on
the regulatory path to recovery after Coalition data
led to the estuaries being added to the states list of
impaired waters.
The ponds and forests of the Wankinquoah Rod & Gun Club
in Middleborough are now permanently protected by a
Conservation Restriction acquired by the Coalition in 2013.
4 | BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
WATERSHED PROTECTION
Think of the Buzzards Bay watershed as a mosaic made up of forests, fields, wetlands, rivers,
streams, and the communities we call home. Connecting all of these pieces is water: falling
on the Bay as rain on a warm summer evening or drifting down as snow on a field many miles
from the shore. Our work to protect the Buzzards Bay watershed is focused on keeping this
water clean, no matter where it falls.
In 2013, the Coalition brought together a unique
partnership of sportsmen from the Wankinquoah
Rod and Gun Club, town officials, and state agencies
to protect over 350 acres of watershed land in
Middleborough, far from the shores of Buzzards Bay.
Most of this land, which sits near the headwaters of the
Sippican and Weweantic rivers, is now permanently
protected through a conservation restriction held by
the Coalition. Land was also added to the Rocky Gutter
Wildlife Management Area, providing better access for
hunters, mountain bikers, and wildlife enthusiasts to
enjoy the outdoors.
In addition to the land protection success in
Middleborough, 2013 saw gains in protecting more of
the regions most fragile natural areas. The Coalition
placed conservation restrictions over more than 121
acres of land along the Slocums, Weweantic, and
Mattapoisett rivers and in Quissett Harbor. Also, the
Coalition made significant progress toward completing
the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project when
Fairhaven and Mattapoisett Town Meetings committed
funds to the project, which will protect over 410
acres of coastal land. In 2014, the Coalition looks to
complete this historic land conservation project with
additional community support and private donations.
On a clear, warm October day, Coalition Senior Educator Margo Connolly-Masson stood in front
of a group of twenty-five local residents along the shore of Sunset Cove in Wareham. Wearing
chest waders and holding a clam rake, Connolly-Masson asked if anyone knew what a quahog
looked like. Only stuffed! one woman replied. Her joke rang true for many local residents:
Even though more shellfish beds are open today because of pollution cleanup successes, fewer
people are out digging for the iconic clam.
That is starting to change through programs like Learn
to Quahog, one of more than 40 Bay Adventures the
Coalition offered in 2013. Bay Adventures connect
local residents to their environment by featuring
special places and unique outdoor activities. In 2013,
nearly 600 people participated in a Coalition-led Bay
Adventure.

donors of $30 or more.

TREASURERS REPORT
The work of the Buzzards Bay Coalition continues to benefit from the incredible support of its
membership and supporters. At June 30, 2013, the Coalitions financial position remains strong
with net assets over $8 million and a $2M endowment fund.
Support for Coalition core programs was up 10% from the prior year and our signature Ride and
Swim events generated a 34% increase in Events income. This increased engagement with the
community ultimately supports all of our fundraising efforts, particularly by
attracting future members, volunteers and donors.
Operationally, we closed the year on a break even basis as budgeted. We drew
down funds from the Campaign for Buzzards Bay (2008-2011) to fund the
program growth and initiatives envisioned by the Campaign. It was this planned
draw down which resulted in the $509K deficit. 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 90% of every dollar raised or earned in FY13 went directly to
program work.
The Coalition has a very capable staff, a dedicated Board of Directors, and most generous supporters.
This is a dynamic and exciting organization. I am very confident we will continue to be a strong force
for the Bays preservation.
Copies of audited financial statements are available upon request.

OUR VISION
A Bay shoreline defined by safe
swimming beaches, open shellfish
beds, and stretches of scenic natural
areas for all to enjoy.
Healthy waters that support abundant
fish, shellfish, and wildlife populations.
A Bay safe from the threats of oil spills,
industrial and sewer discharges, and
ocean dumping.
A watershed where rivers, streams,
inland forests, and wetlands that buffer
the Bay are protected.
