One of the main components of the Narragansett Bay Commission's mission is "To maintain a leadership role in the protection and enhancement of water quality in Narragansett Bay and its tributaries." We think that one of the best ways to provide for the ongoing protection and enhancement of our waters is to support environmental education for everyone from pre-schoolers to adults.

From classroom programs, to scholarships, to free community lectures, the NBC continually strives to open doors through which curious minds can enter to explore the wonders of Narragansett Bay.
