Shannon Beach - 26% of water quality samples not meeting standards for swimming. Let's fix our infrastructure so that residents can recreate safely during these crazy hot summers. @MysticMyRWA @massrivers @MassDEP bostonglobe.com/2024/08/02/met… via @BostonGlobe

Haley et al., of BU - gastrointestinal illness associated with combined sewer overflows. Water bodies with sewage may make people sick who are nearby (e.g. nearby residents) - not just swimmers and boaters. @MysticMyRWA @massrivers #cleanwater

@walkerenvres Let me ask this: Why is the NYTimes story so informative? Where is the USGS in issuing national reports on an invaluable resource they are tasked with monitoring across the country?

Really is unbelievable how little regulation and even just basic monitoring of #groundwater use there is in the US. Every time I read about it, I still find it hard to believe. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Anyone despairing about our ability to tackle the climate crisis should study the slow, messy, uncertain and thrilling history of urban rivers that have been raised from the dead. My essay for @longnow.

A profile of the Mystic "...it is the opposite of orderly: it lurches through seasons of outrage and indifference, earnest clean-ups followed by another fuel spill....It is messy, elusive, and never actually finished."

This morning we celebrate the long awaited opening of a new @MassDCR bathhouse to replace prior 1954 building. DCR Commissioner Arrigo speaks about accessibility as underpinning the design. @MysticMyRWA

It is a time for rolling **forward** protections, not rolling back. The Supreme Court's decision to narrow the definition of "waters of the United States" is heartbreaking. Water connects us all, and all people deserve access to clean water.💧 @MysticMyRWA @CLF @mass_rivers

BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court severely weakened the Clean Water Act in Sackett v. EPA. This is a catastrophic loss for water protections across the country and a win for big polluters, putting our communities, public health, and local ecosystems in danger.

Swimming in the Seine? The Olympic Games have catalyzed a huge push to make the Seine swimmable. If this can be done in one major urban river, it can be done in the Mystic and all MA rivers. @MysticMyRWA @charlesriver @NepRWA @mass_rivers nytimes.com/2023/05/12/spo…

Literally an icon of the Mystic. Tragic.
We need data on how many raptors killed by SGARS in MA.

So glad to learn about the recognition for this amazing group of students, teacher, and the City of Everett as they restore the riverbank of the Malden River.

wcvb.com/article/bald-e… Tragic and keeps happening. We would benefit from knowing whether tissue/blood test indicates this is an SGAR rodenticide poisoning and what % of raptor poisonings are SGAR in metro Boston. @MysticMyRWA @MassAudubon @charlesriver
