UMass Boston Alumni Magazine - Fall/Winter 2008-2009 - (Page 4) UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS UNEWS Marine Hygiene and More The latest addition to the UMass Boston fleet arrived this August, its shiny white hull and new-boat smell belying its purpose: pumping sewage from boats in Boston Harbor. Boaters are no longer allowed to dump sewage directly into the water, and compliance depends on adequate pumpout facilities. That’s where the new boat (known to some as “Head of the Harbor”) comes in. With a nearly 1,000-gallon capacity, it will make house calls to recreational and commercial boats, pumping them out free of charge. It will also serve as a mobile research platform for faculty and students, as they continue to explore ways to clean not only Boston Harbor, but coastal waters everywhere. In another recent instance of UMass Boston involvement in environmental research and policy-making, two faculty members— David Terkla (Economics) and Jack Looney (Environmental, Earth, and Ocean Sciences)—have been named to a Science Advisory Council that will help the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs develop the ocean resources management plan called for in the state’s Oceans Act of 2008. At the 2008 annual Community Breakfast, William Walczak ’79, founder of the Codman Square Health Center, and Frederica Williams, CEO of Whittier Street Health Center, each received the Robert H. Quinn Award for Community Service. Also honored was Leah P. Bailey, executive director of community affairs at the Boston Globe Foundation, who was recognized particularly for the foundation’s work with local youth. In the photo (l-r) are Quinn, Bailey, Williams, Walczak, and Chancellor Motley. 4 n UMass Boston
