  • Das Gebiet Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area ist eine 520 ha große National Recreation Area, die aus den Inseln im Boston Harbor sowie einigen dem Hafengebiet vorgelagerten Inseln in Boston im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten besteht. Das Schutzgebiet wird vom Boston Harbor Islands Partnership verwaltet, dem unter anderem das Department of Conservation and Recreation und der National Park Service angehören, und ist Teil des Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston. Die meisten der Inseln sind öffentlich zugänglich, während einige sehr klein sind und der Natur überlassen wurden. Innerhalb des Schutzgebiets befindet sich auch der Boston Harbor Islands State Park, der vom Commonwealth of Massachusetts verwaltet wird. 21 der insgesamt 34 Inseln gehören zum Boston Harbor Islands Archeological District. Im Schutzgebiet gibt es Wanderwege und Strände, ebenso können auf Georges Island das Fort Warren und auf Little Brewster Island mit dem Boston Light der älteste Leuchtturm der Vereinigten Staaten besichtigt werden. Georges Island und Spectacle Island werden in der Saison regelmäßig von Boston und Quincy aus mit Fähren angefahren. Shuttleboote fahren an Wochenenden und im Sommer auch werktags darüber hinaus weitere Inseln sowie die Städte Hull und an. Im Jahr 1996 legten der Bostoner Bürgermeister Thomas Menino und der MIT-Professor Clifford A. Goudeyeinen gemeinsamen Plan vor, um die Aquakulturen und Fischbestände im Boston Harbor neu zu beleben. Dazu wollten sie unter anderem die alten Tanks und Granitkanäle auf Moon Island nutzen. Im Jahr 2008 fanden auf Peddocks Island Filmaufnahmen von Martin Scorsese für den Film Shutter Island statt.

Twenty-one of the 34 islands in the area are also included in the Boston Harbor Islands Archeological District. Attractions include hiking trails, beaches, the Civil War-era Fort Warren on Georges Island and Boston Light on Little Brewster Island, the oldest lighthouse in the United States. Georges Island and Spectacle Island are served seasonally by ferries to and from Boston, connecting on weekends and summer weekdays with a shuttle boat to several other islands, Hull, and Hingham. In 1996, there was a project proposal by Boston's mayor Tom Menino and Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Clifford A. Goudey to revitalize the aquaculture and fish population in Boston Harbor. This would have involved using the old tanks and granite canals on Moon Island. In 2008, Peddocks Island was used for filming scenes in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island. (en)
