Officials from environmental organizations and MIT recently gathered on the banks of the Charles River to mark progress by the Clean Charles 2005 Coalition toward a swimmable and fishable river within five years. Speakers included Mindy S. Lubber (at podium), regional administrator at the EPA's New England office; Paul Parravano (second from left), co-director of MIT's Office Of Government and Community Relations; and Bob Zimmerman (third from left), exeutive director of the Charles River Watershed Association. Coalition member MIT has donated a boat to help with water sampling, and Dan Delisi, a graduate student in urban studies and planning, has been working with the EPA to design a stormwater-management ideas competition.
