Our Mission
The Better Bay Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the boating experience on Rhode Island waters by identifying, communicating, and promoting safety, accessibility, and cooperation while sharing our wonderful natural resources. Through collaboration with government, commercial and private stakeholders, the BBA strives to be the boating safety catalyst.
BBA is here to help.
Who We Are
The Better Bay Alliance was formed shortly after a fatal boating accident on August 11, 2019 by a group of concerned boaters with a broad background of boating experience.
