At our 2024 Onboard Awards breakfast, Boston Harbor Now honored Vivien Li for her leadership on the Boston Harborwalk over two decades as Executive Director of The Boston Harbor Association, and Ocean Havens and its co-principals Ann and Chuck Lagasse for their transformation of the Charlestown Marina and inspiring work across the region’s waterfront.

The 2024 Onboard Awards ceremony also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Boston Harborwalk with an official proclamation from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu!

Boston Harbor Now’s annual Onboard Awards bring together professionals from throughout the region to celebrate businesses, organizations, and leaders who exemplify responsible planning and development along Boston’s waterfront.

Funds raised through the Onboard Awards enable Boston Harbor Now to prepare for the impacts of climate change, support our working port economy, and offer free and low-cost access for underserved communities to enjoy the waterfront and Islands.

We cannot continue our work without your help. If you would like to support our work, we invite you to make your gift today.
