Save The Bay is an independent, member-supported, nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and improving Narragansett Bay. Our mission is to create a fully swimmable, fishable, and healthy bay that is accessible to all. We began as a grassroots organization in 1970 when a small group of concerned citizens came together to fight an oil refinery proposed for the shores of Tiverton.

Since then, we have become the eyes, ears, and voice for Narragansett Bay. Save The Bay carries out its mission through advocacy, education, and habitat restoration and adaptation. We offer a range of programs and services, including educational programs for schools and groups, afterschool programs, and teacher portals.

We also organize events such as The Swim, Earth Day Birthday, and Taste of The Bay, as well as offer seal watch tours and lighthouse tours. Join us in our efforts to protect and improve Narragansett Bay by donating, becoming a member, or volunteering. Together, we can make a difference and ensure the long-term health of this precious ecosystem
