Event Description

The Metropolitan Beaches Commission (MBC) is hosting a public hearing on Thursday, May 6th at 9:30 AM on Zoom on the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion on the Commonwealth’s public beaches in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull.

The Commission is charged with making findings and recommendations to the Legislature and the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) on ways to improve the metropolitan region's public beaches. It was established by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2006 and is lead and managed by Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. You can find more information about the MBC on Save the Harbor/Save the Bay's website, and download copies of our previous reports at https://www.savetheharbor.org/mbc-archives.

The Commission is committed to increasing public access to these spectacular urban natural resources. We hope you can join us to share your thoughts on what is working and what we can do better.

The May 6th hearing will be followed by a Virtual Summit, at which we will present our preliminary findings to a broad, diverse audience of beach users to get their thoughts and input. Following the Summit, the Commission will share a report of our findings and recommendations with the Legislature, the Administration, DCR and the public, which will serve as a roadmap for improving access and increasing diversity, equity and inclusion on our public beaches going forward.
