2024 Swim

Clownfish of New Bedford

Buzzards Bay is one of the most beautiful coastal waterways on the East Coast and it's under constant threat from dangers like nitrogen pollution, oil spills, and disappearing forests and wetlands.

You can help protect Buzzards Bay by donating to our team's upcoming Buzzards Bay Swim on Saturday, June 22. We'll be doing our part by joining hundreds of others in swimming 1.2 miles across outer New Bedford Harbor as we raise funds for and awareness of the need to protect clean water in our community.

Through this challenging event, we're hoping to meet or exceed our fundraising goal to support the Buzzards Bay Coalition's important work across conservation, research, advocacy, and education. Any amount - big or small - truly makes a difference in helping to protect clean water for today, and for future generations.

Thank you for your support!


P.S. Join us at the Swim Beach Party at Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven from 7:30 am - 10am and help us celebrate. Hope to see you there!
