[SEMCO] Kickoff Event @ Upcoming Maritime Festival

[Steven M. Tucker, Coastal & Marine Resources Program Manager]

THINK BLUE MASSACHUSETTS CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF AT CAPE COD MARITIME DAYS 
FESTIVAL

Hingham, Ma- On Sunday, May 21, the Massachusetts Bay Estuary Association

will kick off the Think Blue Massachusetts campaign at the Cape Cod 
Maritime Festival from 11 – 4 PM Aselton Park at the corner of Ocean and 
South streets in Hyannis, Ma.

Think Blue Massachusetts is a spirited and creative interactive outreach 
and education campaign to inspire individuals’ stewardship of 
Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays through stormwater awareness.

The Duck Party will introduce “Stormy” the 15’ inflatable duck used to 
promote stormwater education around the state as the Think Blue 
Massachusetts Campaign takes to the streets. The campaign will reach 
across all media–television, newsprint, radio—will be on the ground in 
point-of-purchase displays, sports franchise promotions and community 
events. It will speak to people during their commute via displays on 
trains and boats and during nightly news through weathercaster broadcasts.

Think Blue Massachusetts challenges the behaviors that negatively impact 
the health of Massachusetts Rivers, Beaches and Bays. Through education 
and awareness, the campaign provides citizens with a clear path toward 
protecting our precious riverine and coastal environment, by encouraging 
specific individual actions that when taken together keep our waters blue.

Please join us at the Cape Cod Maritime Festival for an afternoon of 
family fun.

When: Sunday, May 21, 2006, 11am-4pm

Where: Aselton Park at the corner of Ocean and South streets in Hyannis

What: The kick off the the dynamic Think Blue Massachusetts campaign at 
the Cape Cod Maritime Festival is an outdoor festival celebrating Cape 
Cod’s rich Maritime history and heritage. Boat-building demonstrations,
