Boston Harbor Now is a nonprofit organization focused on Boston Harbor as a whole, with the aim of expanding public access and enhancing resilience to climate change. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the group emphasizes the harbor’s importance to local health and the economy and seeks to develop a 21st-century waterfront. It acts as a convener for public-private collaboration, building on the Harbor Cleanup and the creation of the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park (2,000 acres) and the Harborwalk (43 miles) to coordinate investment and policy efforts.

Its work serves residents, schools, and community groups seeking greater waterfront access and programming opportunities. In 2022, it partnered with the National Park Service and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to establish the Innovation Islands grant program, funding local nonprofit projects on the Boston Harbor Islands. In 2025, the organization hired Jason Rundle to oversee its work lobbying for coastal flooding protections.
