Climate change will alter the face of Boston Harbor

Climate change is a real threat of altering the face of Boston’s historical harbor including the area that makes up the North End/Waterfront.

Coastal flooding is nothing to wave at especially in vulnerable locations that will feel the brunt of negative impacts posed by changing weather conditions.

Many organizations (40) like the North End/Waterfront Residents’ Association (NEWRA) are banding together to attempt to tackle this potential stormy future that spells disaster for the harbor.

North End/Waterfront residents and businessmen need to get involved in climate change issues before they become a reality.

FOCCP a reliable community resource

There are many local very active non-profit organizations that make a real difference in the lifestyle of the North End/Waterfront areas, especially Christopher Columbus Park which is safe, beautiful and a great place to enjoy.

Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (FOCCP), celebrating its 20th anniversary, has and will continue its very active commitment to provide numerous activities and events while making sure the park’s gardens are kept in excellent condition and beautiful.

Many local residents and visitors take in the public open space and all that it offers.
