2015 annual report - Buzzards Bay Coalition

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
AND CHAIR
IT IS OUR GREAT PLEASURE TO SHARE THIS 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
with you - our members and supporters – whose outstanding commitment
to our success made possible such amazing achievements over the past year.
The accomplishments featured in this report are wonderful investments
in the future of our Bay. And they point the way to so much exciting
work ahead.
They are models, not end points.
The Acushnet Sawmill is not simply the best waterfront park created in
Greater New Bedford in decades; it is a template we can use to restore
fish and wetlands at dozens of similarly-damaged sites on all of the
Bay’s rivers. The protection of 411 coastal acres on Nasketucket Bay is
not simply the biggest land preservation victory on Buzzards Bay in a
generation; we can apply the public-private funding model we created to
thousands of new acres of threatened land. The installation of 20 new
septic systems on West Falmouth Harbor is not simply another step in
the ongoing restoration of that degraded waterway; neighborhoods all
along the Bay can apply this model to select technologies and engage
homeowners to create workable solutions to local wastewater pollution.
These successes were built around the Coalition’s unique approach:
strong collaborations with towns, neighborhoods, and landowners; a
commitment to seeking out new ways to solve tough problems; and
unabashed doggedness.
The challenges facing our Bay require nothing less.
The Acushnet
Sawmill restoration,
Nasketucket Bay land
preservation, and
West Falmouth septic
system program…
each of these are
models, not end
points. They point
the way to so much
exciting work ahead.
Coalition founder George Hampson’s last day on the Bay last fall was
spent on our boat, the R/V Buzzards Baykeeper ®, teaching staff how to
monitor the health of the tiny creatures that live in the Bay’s bottom.
Having tracked these “canaries in the coalmine” for more than half a
century, George had become alarmed at the dramatic decline in both
the total numbers but also diversity of these critters. As was his nature,
George – marine scientist, local advocate, and beloved teacher – wanted
to empower the Coalition to continue his work. And we will.
We hope you share our pride in the expanding impact and scale of the
Coalition’s accomplishments. None of it would have been possible without
your strong support. Thank you!

REMEMBERING
GEORGE
HAMPSON
The Buzzards Bay Coalition was
deeply saddened by the loss of George
Hampson in October. George was
a founder of the Coalition, an early
chair of our Board of Directors,
and a very close friend to us over
the past three decades. As a lifelong
marine biologist at the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution, George’s
influence established the strong
commitment to sound science that
underpins all of the Coalition’s
work today.
Visit our website, www.savebuzzardsbay.org,

George’s role in the creation and life of this
organization that meant so much to him.

2015 ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE WATER
WE ALL SHARE THE SAME VISION FOR BUZZARDS BAY: A SCENIC SHORELINE WITH
safe swimming beaches, open shellfish beds filled with quahogs, and healthy waters where
fish and wildlife thrive. Our Bay is resilient; with sound science, the right laws, and proper
enforcement, it can bounce back from the harmful effects of nitrogen and other pollution.
Through science and advocacy, the Buzzards Bay Coalition is leading the way to protect and
restore our local waterways for fish, shellfish, wildlife, and most importantly, people.

CHALLENGE
STRATEGY
RESULTS
By far, the most serious and
difficult challenge facing
Bay restoration is nitrogen
pollution. It leaches from our
septic systems, seeps from our
streets, lawns, and cranberry
bogs, and flows from aging
sewer plants into the Bay’s
sensitive harbors and coves.
The Bay also faces challenges
from bacterial contamination,
toxic pollution, and the
constant threat of oil spills.
For 25 years, the Coalition
has kept a watchful eye
on Buzzards Bay’s health
through our award-winning
Baywatchers water quality
monitoring program. But
we don’t just study the
Bay; we put this science to
work. Sound science forms
the foundation of all of our
advocacy efforts to restore
and protect clean water.
We pursue the restoration
and protection of the Bay
ecosystem at all levels of
government: local, state,
and federal. We’ve secured
limits on nitrogen pollution,
developed new laws to make
the Bay safer from oil spills,
and fought for a full cleanup
of toxic pollution in New
Bedford Harbor.
BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
ON THE WATER | Feature Story
Cleaning up nitrogen pollution
in West Falmouth Harbor
HOMEOWNERS INSTALLING NEW SEPTIC SYSTEMS TO SLOW ONE OF
THE HARBOR’S BIGGEST SOURCES OF NITROGEN POLLUTION
When most people think of Cape Cod, the first thing
that comes to mind is water. Swimming, boating,
fishing – these are the reasons why thousands of
people love visiting the Cape every summer.
But Cape Cod’s coastal waters are suffering from
too much nitrogen pollution – the greatest longterm threat to the health of Buzzards Bay. Perhaps
no place is more aware of the nitrogen pollution
problem than West Falmouth Harbor. For the past
20 years, the harbor’s health has been in a slow,
steady decline. Clumps of green algae often cover the
shoreline, and eelgrass has vanished from many parts
of the harbor.
Falmouth’s wastewater treatment plant was upgraded
in 2005 to reduce nitrogen loads to West Falmouth
Harbor. Today, septic systems are one of the largest
sources of nitrogen pollution. One hundred percent
of the homes around the harbor are on septic systems
and cesspools, which aren’t designed to remove
nitrogen at all.
Through an innovative pilot program coordinated
by the Coalition in partnership with the town of
Falmouth, 20 local homeowners are making a
difference for the harbor’s health by upgrading
their septic systems. Each homeowner is receiving
a $10,000 subsidy and technical support to upgrade
to new technology that reduces nitrogen. By
participating in this program, these homeowners are
taking action to speed up the harbor’s recovery and
setting a strong example.
This successful pilot project is a model for dozens
of other harbors and coves on Buzzards Bay that
are polluted with nitrogen from septic systems. The
Coalition will work to bring proactive solutions like
this to a community near you.

ON THE WATER | Highlights of 2015
In 2015, we continued our ongoing fight against nitrogen pollution in Buzzards Bay, defended
the Bay against oil spills, and worked to prevent new pollution from fouling the Bay. You can learn
more about our work to protect clean water through science and advocacy on our website,
www.savebuzzardsbay.org.
Analyzing the effects of a warming Bay on water quality
For the first time, the Coalition’s Baywatchers monitoring data is being used to
evaluate the effects of climate change on the Bay. Using 22 years of data, researchers
from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Buzzards Bay National
Estuary Program, and the Marine Biological Laboratory found that average
summertime temperatures throughout the Bay have warmed by roughly 4ºF since
1992. What’s more, the study suggests that warmer water is fueling more algae
growth, resulting in decreasing water quality.
Stopping foam pollution in a Mattapoisett salt marsh
Brandt Island Cove has a brighter future now that owners of a local marina have
replaced decaying foam floats that littered a nearby salt marsh with thousands of
broken pieces of polystyrene. The Coalition supported the Mattapoisett Conservation
Commission in its work to require the marina to remove these outdated floats and
clean up the mess they made.
Advocating for a full, safe cleanup of PCBs
in New Bedford Harbor
New Bedford Harbor won a hard-fought battle in the fight to clean up toxic PCB
pollution in 2015. With strong community input from the Coalition and others,
the U.S. EPA abandoned its plans to bury contaminated sediment directly along
the upper estuary’s shoreline in large, bulkheaded cells called Confined Disposal
Facilities (CDFs). Instead, the toxins will be shipped to a safe, secure disposal facility
along with more than half a million cubic yards of contaminated mud from the
harbor bottom over the next decade.
Honoring the guardians of Buzzards Bay
In 2015, the Coalition honored five individuals as Buzzards Bay Guardians, our
highest award for outstanding service to Buzzards Bay:
• Paul Niedzwiecki of the Cape Cod Commission for leadership in development of
the Cape 208 Water Quality Plan
• Jennifer Howard of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and
Recreation for the preservation of Nasketucket Bay State Reservation
• Massachusetts’ Assistant Attorneys General Seth Schofield and Pierce Cray for
defense of the Massachusetts Oil Spill Prevention Act
• Joe Costa of the Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program for a lifetime of
contributions to Bay science and management

BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
The Wareham wastewater treatment plant discharges its treated
sewage into the Agawam River (at the spot seen here): a small,
relatively shallow river that’s far from Buzzards Bay’s open
waters. By moving this discharge pipe to a less sensitive location
at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, neighborhoods in Wareham,
Bourne, and Plymouth can connect to the Bay’s best wastewater
treatment plant and reduce a significant amount of nitrogen
pollution to the upper Bay.
ON THE WATER | Looking Ahead
Expanding world-class
wastewater treatment in
upper Buzzards Bay
FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND COLLABORATION BRINGS TOGETHER WAREHAM, BOURNE, PLYMOUTH,
AND THE MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME ACADEMY TO REDUCE NITROGEN POLLUTION
Buzzards Bay’s nitrogen pollution problem is huge,
and demands bold action from municipalities. Now,
a unique regional partnership is bringing together
three Buzzards Bay towns – Wareham, Bourne,
and Plymouth – and the Massachusetts Maritime
Academy to tackle nitrogen pollution in the upper
portion of Buzzards Bay.
The project centers around the Wareham wastewater
treatment plant – a highly advanced facility that
removes far more nitrogen than any other plant in
our region. If the Wareham sewer plant moves its
discharge pipe out of the Agawam River to a less
sensitive location near the Academy, the three towns
could expand sewer lines to neighborhoods currently
served by septic systems and cesspools. By coming
together across town lines, these communities can
take advantage of a system that treats wastewater to
the best level possible.
These four partners are combining their resources
to achieve a common goal: clean water in upper
Buzzards Bay. Most importantly, this partnership
will serve as a model for other communities
grappling with the same nitrogen pollution problems.
The Coalition recently received a $200,000 grant from
the EPA-funded Southeast New England Program for
this effort and is now pursuing additional funding to
make this innovative project a reality.
“It will be an opportunity to clean up the
rivers in Wareham, to clean up other
waterways in the region, and to clean up
Buzzards Bay.”

IN THE WATERSHED
WATERSHED PROTECTION IS ABOUT CONSERVING ALL OF THE PARTS OF THE
Buzzards Bay ecosystem – not just its harbors and coves, but its forests, wetlands, rivers,
streams, and groundwater. These critical areas provide important habitats, protect our
drinking water sources, and act as natural filters for the Bay.
Through watershed protection, the Buzzards Bay Coalition is forever protecting the
region’s valuable forests, streams, and wetlands and restoring damaged areas so the
Bay ecosystem can thrive.

CHALLENGE
STRATEGY
RESULTS
Just about half of the land in
the Buzzards Bay watershed
– the 432-square-mile area
that drains to the Bay – is
undeveloped and unprotected.
The fate of these lands is
fundamental to our effort to
protect clean water. Without
saving the most important
forests, streams, and wetlands,
the Bay cannot survive the
harmful effects of poorly
planned sprawl development.
We pursue a Bay-focused
land protection strategy that
focuses on the watershed’s
most vulnerable forests,
streams, and salt marshes
– natural areas that the Bay
cannot afford to lose. We
also restore damaged rivers,
wetlands, and streambanks
and help towns and land trusts
preserve land in every corner
of our watershed.
The Coalition manages the
largest land conservation
program in southeastern
Massachusetts. Since 1998,
we’ve protected more than
7,000 acres throughout the
Buzzards Bay watershed.
We’re also restoring damaged
streams, rebuilding wetlands,
and creating better access
for people to explore the
outdoors in their community.

Celebrating land conservation
in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett
COALITION CAPS FOUR-YEAR NASKETUCKET BAY PROJECT WITH PUBLIC
OPENING OF SHAW FARM TRAIL
2015 was a year to celebrate land conservation on
Buzzards Bay. And for thousands of people who
love the outdoors in our region, 2015 was also a
year to share in these celebrations by opening brand
new places on the Acushnet River (see page 14) and
Nasketucket Bay to get outside and explore.
a new public trail called Shaw Farm Trail. This
mile-long trail created a missing link between the
state reservation and the popular bike path that runs
through Fairhaven and Mattapoisett. Thousands of
local residents can now walk from their homes all the
way to the shores of Nasketucket Bay.
In July, the Coalition welcomed local, state, and
federal officials and community members to stunning
views of Nasketucket Bay to mark the completion
of the Nasketucket Bay Land Conservation Project.
This extraordinary four-year, $6.25 million initiative
has forever protected 416 acres of forests, fields, and
coastal farmland in Fairhaven and Mattapoisett – the
largest land conservation project on Buzzards Bay’s
shores in a generation.
By protecting this land, we’re continuing a legacy
of conservation on Nasketucket Bay that everybody
can celebrate.
Few coastal bays in Massachusetts have such
plentiful natural resources as Nasketucket Bay. That’s
due in large part to land conservation. Preserving
forests, meadows, and salt marshes around
Nasketucket Bay protects the bay’s clean water: its
sparkling blue shores, its dense eelgrass meadows,
its abundant fish, shellfish, and wildlife populations.
Without conservation, this beautiful place could have
been lost forever to development.
As part of this project, the Coalition doubled the size
of Nasketucket Bay State Reservation and created

IN THE WATERSHED | Highlights of 2015
In 2015, we continued our role as a regional leader in land conservation by protecting and
restoring more of the Bay’s special places. You can learn more about our work to conserve
land and restore damaged natural areas on our website, www.savebuzzardsbay.org.
Protecting a landmark island
for people in Wareham
Wickets Island is the centerpiece of scenic Onset Bay, a place treasured
for its natural shorelines and rich outdoor recreation. In 2015, Wareham
residents helped save Wickets Island forever by approving funding for
the Coalition to purchase the island. Wickets Island will soon be open to
all for swimming, paddling, fishing, quahogging, and exploration.
Saving a salter stream in Westport
The Coalition is working with the Westport Land Conservation Trust
to protect 102 acres of forested land along Angeline Brook. This unique
coldwater stream, which flows to the West Branch of the Westport River,
is one of the few remaining habitats in southern New England for native
sea-run brook trout, or “salters.”
Supporting barrier beach
protection in Westport
At the entrance to Westport Harbor lies a barrier beach that leads out
to the dramatic Point of Rocks, or “the Knubble.” This sensitive barrier
beach protects the Westport River inlet and provides outstanding
views of the Bay. The Coalition has been working to support the
town of Westport in restoring the beach’s fragile dunes and provide
environmentally responsible access for all Westport residents.

BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
The crumbling remains of a dam sit at the head of tide on the
Weweantic River. This structure blocks migration and limits
spawning habitat for fish. The Coalition has kicked off a project
to restore the river at Horseshoe Mill in Wareham for fish,
wildlife, and people.
IN THE WATERSHED | Looking Ahead
Restoring a river for
migratory fish in Wareham
COALITION AIMS TO BRING BACK WEWEANTIC RIVER’S RICH FISH POPULATIONS
What happens when migratory fish like river herring,
eels, and white perch reach the crumbling remains of
a dam at the head of tide on the Weweantic River?
It’s like hitting a wall – and most of these fish just
can’t get past.
Because of this blockage, fish populations on the
Weweantic have been falling for decades. With its
rocky riffles and rare tidal mix of fresh and salt water,
this spot on the river is critical for spawning fish.
Still, the Weweantic River is home to the most
diverse community of migratory fish that exists
anywhere on Buzzards Bay. Historically, we know
that even Atlantic salmon, shad, and sturgeon lived
in this river. There’s an opportunity to restore fish
communities here on the Bay’s largest freshwater
river that have been lost everywhere else.
The Coalition has begun a process to restore the river
at Horseshoe Mill, where the dam is located. Our
vision here is similar to The Sawmill on the Acushnet
River (see page 14): restoring critical habitat for fish
by reopening both the river and a former industrial
site for all.
In December, we kicked off a feasibility study with
a public meeting in Wareham. An engineering
firm is now developing and examining a variety of
restoration alternatives, which we’ll present back to
the community this year.
“It’s not just that fish love to use this
spot – fish need to use this spot, but it’s
deteriorating and it’s limited.”

WITH PEOPLE
THE KEY TO A CLEAN, HEALTHY BUZZARDS BAY IS AN ENGAGED COMMUNITY THAT
understands the threats the Bay faces and their role in protecting it. The long-term health of
our local environment depends on people knowing, loving, and valuing the Bay as important
to their lives.
Through community engagement, the Buzzards Bay Coalition is creating a new generation
of Bay stewards: People who understand their place in the Bay ecosystem and support its
protection for decades to come.

CHALLENGE
STRATEGY
RESULTS
Buzzards Bay faces a crisis of
disengagement. Fewer people
today know the Bay, and most
children grow up in front of
screens instead of on sandy
shores. Without connections
to the natural world, people
have turned a blind eye to
the Bay’s decline. If we don’t
address this disengagement,
our work will ultimately fail.
Connecting people to the Bay
is a fundamental part of the
Coalition’s work. We tackle
this crisis of disengagement
head-on through outdoor
programming, engaging
events and workshops, and
vibrant print and digital
communications. These efforts
build stronger connections
to our local environment
to support the long-term
stewardship of Buzzards Bay.
Every year, thousands discover
the Bay as part of our outdoor
exploration programs. We’re
expanding a network of
Bay discovery sites where
all people can get outside,
and giving local decision
makers solutions to pressing
pollution problems. Through
annual events like the Swim
and Watershed Ride, we’re
rebuilding connections to our
irreplaceable Bay.

Increasing outdoor exploration
across our region
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GET OUTSIDE AND DISCOVER BUZZARDS BAY
WITH THE COALITION
Over the past five years, the Coalition has invested
deeply in outdoor exploration programs for youth
and adults in our region. And in 2015, more people
than ever got outside and discovered forests, beaches,
streams, wetlands, and waters on dozens of Bay
Adventures and field programs.
Our focus is simple (and fun!): connect more people
to the vibrant natural world that lives here on
Buzzards Bay and across our watershed through
hands-on outdoor exploration.
Last year, we led over 4,000 students on field
programs at schools from New Bedford to
Falmouth. Kids got muddy in marshes, found frog
eggs in vernal pools, and splashed paddles through
the water on kayaks. At Minot Forest Elementary
School in Wareham, all third- and fourth-graders
discovered the forest behind their school on
programs with our partners at the Wareham Land
Trust. For many, it was the first time they’d ever
ventured into these woods.
For adults and families looking to get outside
and explore, the Coalition also leads weekly Bay
Adventures. These programs are exciting, engaging
outdoor experiences for people of all ages – like
“Build Your Own Fishing Pole,” where participants
use sticks from the forest to build fishing poles, and
then cast their line into a local river. Other popular
Bay Adventures include stand-up paddleboarding,
seal and seabird watches, and Itty Bitty Bay
Explorers, a series for families with young children.
With each person who digs up their first quahog,
holds a jumping frog in their hand, and finds a new
favorite forest trail to the shore, we’re reconnecting
our communities to the Bay we cherish.

Bay Swim! On June 20, swimmers dove into outer New Bedford Harbor
to celebrate clean water and raise $100,000 for our work. The 23rd
annual Buzzards Bay Swim will take place on June 25, 2016.
Biking for clean water in Buzzards Bay
120 cyclists pedaled across southeastern Massachusetts on October
4, 2015 to show their support for clean water during the ninth annual
Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride. The Ride raised more than $90,000 for
the Coalition’s work. Don’t miss the 10th anniversary Ride on October
2, 2016, which will feature a new 100-mile route and 10-mile family ride.
Volunteering to keep a watchful eye
on the Coalition’s trails
With the opening of new Bay discovery sites across the region, the
Coalition is enlisting the help of dedicated volunteers who love these
places and want to make a difference. Volunteers can “adopt a reserve”
at places like The Sawmill, The Bogs, and LaPalme Farm, giving us
more eyes on the ground at these popular outdoor destinations.
Training local decision makers on
solutions to pollution
2015 marked the fifth year of our successful Decision Makers Workshops
series, designed for local leaders in government, business, and agriculture
whose daily decisions affect the health of the Bay and our local
environment. Last year, these free workshops provided real-world tested
strategies to reduce nitrogen from cranberry bogs and septic systems.

Bringing the
Acushnet River
back to health
AT THE EDGE OF NEW BEDFORD’S URBAN NORTH
end sits The Sawmill: a 19-acre former lumber yard
on the Acushnet River. The river flows gently through
The Sawmill from its headwaters in Freetown to New
Bedford Harbor and Buzzards Bay.
The river here has experienced centuries of industrial
use. For nearly 300 years, a dam blocked migrating
fish from reaching their freshwater spawning
grounds. Four acres of pavement and buildings
covered the ground, sending pollution directly into
the river with every rain storm.
Now, all that has changed.
Over a two-year period that began in 2013, the
Coalition restored The Sawmill to bring back natural
swamps, meadows, and riverbanks that once grew
here many years ago. The Sawmill you see today
protects clean water, provides better habitat for fish
and wildlife, and offers people like you a beautiful
place to explore the outdoors.
On November 6, 2015, the Coalition unveiled The
Sawmill to the public at an opening ceremony
attended by hundreds of officials and local residents.
Since then, thousands of people have visited The
Sawmill for hands-on field education programs,
family hikes, and quiet reflections along the banks of
the beautiful Acushnet River.
The children who walk, fish, and paddle here today
will only ever know a thriving river where they can
discover their Buzzards Bay.
RIGHT The Buzzards Bay Coalition restored native
meadows, a red maple swamp, and natural riverbanks
along the Acushnet River at The Sawmill. This public
park is now open, inviting visitors like you to walk the
trails and paddle the river’s scenic waters.

BUZZARDS BAY COALITION
“Let me begin by saying ‘Welcome
Back to the Acushnet River.’ The
river has been here all along, but we
as a community lost it for a while.
For decades we turned our back on
it. Some would argue that we killed
it with industrial toxic waste and
sewage in the 20th century. It was a
disgrace, but it wasn’t dead.
And now, here in our time, the
people of this area have turned their
eyes back to the Acushnet River
and are beginning to see a new
future of opportunity, beauty, and
neighborhood revitalization instead
of blight.”

“Buzzards Bay is where we have created some of our fondest

Buzzards Bay and our reception overlooked West Falmouth Harbor.
We plan to support the Buzzards Bay Coalition and enjoy the Bay’s
beauty for years to come.”

“ Growing up around and on the Bay gave me an appreciation and love
for the ocean. Now, I live by the Bay with my husband and young son.
We have to restore, respect, and care for this body of water to ensure a
clean and healthy environment for our families and everyone else who
values it as much as we do.”

2015 ANNUAL REPORT

TREASURER’S
REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 2015
JULY 1, 2014 TO
SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
THE BUZZARDS BAY COALITION CONTINUES TO BENEFIT FROM THE
increasing support from its membership and supporters. At September 30,
2015, the Coalition’s financial position remains strong, with net assets of
$7 million and a $2 million endowment fund.
In a move to better align its operations with its financials, the Coalition
transitioned to a new fiscal year that runs from October 1 to September 30.
This past fiscal and transition year includes the 15-month period, July 1,
2014 and ended on September 30, 2015. The quarter ending September
30 is traditionally a quieter period in our annual fundraising cycle.
Consequently, and as anticipated, this one-time inclusion of a fifth
quarter combined with planned spend-down of funds raised through our
2008-2011 Campaign for Buzzards Bay produced an organizational deficit
reflected below.
The Coalition has a very capable and dedicated staff and most generous
supporters. This is a very dynamic and exciting organization. I am very
confident we will continue to be a strong force for its preservation.
Copies of audited financial statements are available upon request.
SUPPORTING
CLEAN WATER
WITH SOW &
PIGS ALE
In May 2015, Buzzards Bay
Brewing launched Sow &
Pigs Ale, named for the
striper-filled reef at the Bay’s
entrance off Cuttyhunk
Island. Long an advocate of
clean water, Buzzards Bay
Brewing generously donated
a portion of profits to support
the Coalition’s work. A light,
easy drinking beer, Sow &
Pigs was a hit with both beer
aficionados and lovers of
Buzzards Bay. Sow & Pigs is
now an annual tradition. It
can be found at restaurants
and package stores from May
until July.

OUR VISION
• A Bay shoreline defined by safe swimming beaches,
open shellfish beds, and stretches of scenic natural
areas for all to enjoy.
• Healthy waters that support abundant fish, shellfish,
and wildlife populations.
• A Bay safe from the threats of oil spills, industrial
and sewer discharges, and ocean dumping.
• A watershed where rivers, streams, inland forests,
and wetlands that buffer the Bay are protected.
