We are Friends of Taunton Bay, working to protect the health of the Taunton Bay ecosystem.
We do this through research, education, stewardship, and advocacy in the Taunton Bay watershed.
Research
The economic and ecological value of Taunton Bay, as well as its convenient location, make it an attractive focus for a variety of marine research initiatives.
Friends of Taunton Bay conducts and collaborates on research projects to expand our understanding of the bay’s ecosystems and water quality.
Education
The Taunton Bay Education Center at Gordon’s Wharf is the center of FTB’s educational programming for children and adults.
Through education, we hope to inspire an appreciation and understanding of the natural world.
Stewardship
FTB is committed to the preservation of the natural resources and beauty in the Taunton Bay watershed.
We support science-based, sustainable fisheries and provide information to landowners, residents, and visitors to help them protect the fragile estuarine ecosystem.
Advocacy
FTB advocates for science-based, thoughtful decisions that protect the health of Taunton Bay and its watershed.
We share research, engage with local issues, and help residents and decision-makers respond to threats affecting the bay’s long-term future.
