  "projectDescription": "The Nasketucket Bay Land Acquisition Project protects ~450 acres of coastal and estuarine lands with nearly 4,000 feet of Buzzards Bay shoreline bordering Nasketucket Bay and within its watershed in the Towns of Fairhaven and Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. Acquisition of these parcels more than doubles the size of the nearby Nasketucket Bay State Reservation acquired by the state in 1999 (209.7 acres in Mattapoisett and 1.6 acres in Fairhaven), and expand on and tie into a network of adjacent protected lands and passive recreational public trails. Together, the additional protected lands and integrated public access provides ecological and aesthetic benefits, and creates new and enhanced recreational opportunities along wooded trails, open fields and rocky and sand beach shoreline for the public to enjoy. Coastal‐ dependent passive recreation opportunities including saltwater fishing, shellfishing, birding and wildlife viewing, walking, hiking, horseback riding, cross‐country skiing, and nature study are available through this project, and is enriched by views of the bay, coastal streams, maritime forest and adjacent preserved coastal agricultural landscapes.",
