The smell & deterioration of the Saratoga Creek. The aquatic life is dead & the popes have prevented proper flushing. The smell is toxic in warmer weather & becomes a danger to the public with bacteria and is not swimmable due to health concerns.
An environmental and public health problem.
Does Rockport have a tree planting plan? It seems every time you turn around someone is cutting down large healthy trees.
more plastic bottle recycling bins around town
Stormwater, water quality, light pollution effects *including aquatic organisms. Regional approaches. How about great communicators from Ipswich River Watershed Association like exec dir Erin Bonney Casey, Salem Sound Watch Barbara Warren or another from there. Also, Steve Gang from Manchester Conservation Commission chair who with others did a study of Manchester’s water supply. Rockport Ad Hoc Water Committee can assist, participate, facilitate. A water quality panel to make small presentations plus lots of time for public questions. More programs on birds and eastern flyaway through Rockport. Patrons of the library want more bird programs like last year. Chris Leahy would be totally awesome for instance. Question for Chris, was I seeing Brant Geese at Back Beach this week??? Could there be any eelgrass there???
