Boston By Boat is a special project of Save the Harbor/Save the Bay. It was designed to assess existing passenger water transportation services in the Boston Harbor Region and to determine how best to strengthen and promote commercial and recreational passenger vessel use by commuters, local and regional residents, businesses, institutions, and tourists.

The Boston By Boat Interim Report provides information on the current state of passenger water transportation, including commuter services, water taxis, excursions like harbor tours, dinner cruises, and whale watches, and seasonal ferries to Provincetown, Salem, and the Boston Harbor Islands National Park.

The Metropolitan Beaches Commission was established by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2006 to:

- Take an in depth look at each of the region’s beaches
- Identify the current conditions on each beach
- Identify the best management practices across the region
- Make recommendations that would bring our beaches to their fullest potential as significant recreational and economic resources, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and visitors, and strengthening our capital city and the region.

In Spring 2007, the MBC released their report with findings and recommendations, titled "Beaches We Can Be Proud Of".
