This money was used to put on Cooking with Green Crabs, an artisan beach market, beach yoga, movie nights, sand sculpting and more. In 2022, Save the Harbor’s Better Beaches Program invested more than $250,000 in the program, supporting 62 organizations in nine waterfront communities from Nahant to Nantasket. In turn, those organizations ran over 180 events. This year, Better Beaches state funding has increased. Save the Harbor we will be awarding more than $300,000 in 2023 Better Beaches grants for even more events free to the public. If you or your organization has a great idea for a free beach event or program, just follow this link: https://www.savetheharbor.org/ better-beaches. “Our goal for [Cooking with Green Crabs] was to get people in the community excited about the many ways you can cook with green crab and provide free resources and recipes in multiple languages so that more people can learn about this underutilized resource,” said Greencrab.org Founder/Director Mary Parks. “We were so excited to partner with Eating with the Ecosystem for this event, given their focus on local and underutilized seafood and our biggest thanks to Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay’s Better Beaches Program for making this event possible.” The Better Beaches program puts resources in the hands of local beach lovers, supporting and empowering them to execute events for their communities. The impact is clear – Save the Harbor has brought millions of community members to the region’s beaches with over 1,000 free events since 2008. Grant applicants can come from any community if their idea centers on one of our region’s public beaches. Better Beaches funds will be awarded to organizations, programs, individuals and creatives who empower, amplify and invest in community members of color, people with disabilities, people whose fi rst language is not English and members of the Queer community. The event must be free and open to the public, be executed in summer GRANT | SEE Page 18 Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Condicioner! FLEET
