Last Saturday, we hosted nearly 150 residents on an unforgettable free trip with @savethebayri 🌊🐠🐟diving into the history, science, and beauty of Narragansett Bay and the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier.

🚢 As part of the Sott’Acqua: @splendorofflorence program, this experience brought us full circle in understanding the Hurricane Barrier and the critical flood mitigation efforts that protect downtown Providence. Participants of all ages, from 2 to 89 discovered:
🌟 How Hurricane Carol (1954) devastated Providence, leading to the construction of the Hurricane Barrier to prevent future storm surges.
🌊 The depth and ecology of Narragansett Bay, one of Rhode Island’s most treasured natural resources.
🌱 The incredible diversity of life in the Bay, including striped bass, blue crabs, quahogs, and oysters, along with the vital ecosystems of eelgrass meadows and salt marshes that support countless species.

This free program, generously sponsored by the @rifoundation Rhode Island Foundation, brought our community together to learn about our waterways’ fascinating history, delicate ecosystems, and their connection to global efforts in protecting and understanding our natural world. It was an incredible day filled with education, connection, and a renewed appreciation for the Bay’s impact on our daily lives.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey to explore, learn, and celebrate the natural beauty and resilience of our backyard!

🌊✨ A huge thank you to @savethebayri for bringing the Traveling Touch Tank to our students this week! Your engaging and educational program allowed everyone to experience the wonders of Narragansett Bay up close, from horseshoe crabs to spider crabs and periwinkle snails. It was a fantastic way to inspire curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation for our local marine life. We’re so grateful for the hands-on learning and the opportunity to connect with the amazing wildlife of our bay! 🦀🐚 #SaveTheBay #HandsOnLearning #MarineEducation Thank you to our amazing sponsors and partners: @ri_commerce, @providencetourismcouncil, @savethebayri @ting.barnardstudio, @paolinoproperties, @rifoundation, @collettetravel, @repgabeamo, @cityofprovidence, @pvdmayor , @riphilharmonic @downtownpvdparks, @riphilharmonic, @festivapartydesign, @hopeandmainpvd, @providenceact, @accademia_del_maggio, @brownu, @providenceact, @repgabeamo @southcountyri, @liunanewengland @hopeandmainpvd @belliniusa @gracechurchprovidence @ruthdavisassociates @santanderbankus @universityofri, @italyinboston @accademia_del_maggio @pocfoundation.ri @goprovidence and @risdmuseum!

🌍✨ A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the impactful panel discussion on climate change, co-hosted by the Department of Italian Studies and the Office of Global Engagement at Brown University. We are deeply grateful to our esteemed moderator, Cornelia Dean, and our incredible panelists: April Brown, Enrica Caporali, Manuel Cordero, Emanuele Di Lorenzo, Macarena Gomez-Barris, and Kyle McElroy. Your insights and perspectives on flood vulnerability, infrastructure preservation, climate action, and community resilience were truly enlightening.

Thank you to the scholars, community members, and everyone who engaged in this important conversation, connecting global and local efforts for a more resilient future. #ClimateAction #CommunityResilience #BrownUniversity @brownu @italianstudies_brown
