Congress established New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park in 1996 to commemorate the American whaling industry and its contribution to our nation’s history. The park represents a new model in the National Park Service (NPS): preservation and education are achieved through partnerships and not through federal ownership. Other than the Visitor Center and the Corson Maritime Learning Center, the NPS does not own any property or buildings. Together, park partners preserve New Bedford’s historic landscapes, structures, and collections and promote research and educational programming associated with the history of whaling. Core partners include the: • City of New Bedford • Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum • New Bedford Whaling Museum • Waterfront Historic Area LeaguE (WHALE), an historic preservation association • New Bedford Port Society (owns Seamen’s Bethel and Mariner’s Home) • The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (owns the Schooner Ernestina) • New Bedford Historical Society (owns the Nathan and Mary Johnson properties) The park’s 2001 General Management Plan (GMP) recommends working with the City of New Bedford to provide public transportation between the waterfront, park/partner sites, and parking areas: “The National Park Service will work with the city of New Bedford to expand shuttle bus service to provide public transportation between parking areas and a number of downtown destinations—including the historic district—and to provide service to the waterfront as well as to the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum during the visitor season.” Such a shuttle service would increase visitation to outlying park sites, better connect the park to the waterfront, maximize visitor safety by providing safe transportation to parking areas, and decrease on-street traffic and parking by encouraging visitors and residents to park in the garages or leave their vehicles at home campus. Project overview In 2008, the New Bedford Economic Development Council (EDC), the New Bedford Harbor Development Commission (HDC), and the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Dartmouth partnered to pilot a shuttle service that runs between the ferry terminal, the downtown, and a satellite parking area for ferry passengers during the spring, summer, and fall and a loop (termed The LOOP) to UMass Dartmouth for students, faculty, and staff in the fall, winter, and spring months. The park has proposed a phased approach to result in an alternative transportation shuttle system that will directly link park sites with parking facilities, ferry and cruise ship service, and other destinations for visitors during different seasons: • Phase 1 proposes evaluating the existing shuttle currently piloted by the EDC, HDC, and UMass Dartmouth. • Phase 2 includes instituting a shuttle pilot with service for park visitors over three years with an evaluation in the third year. • Phase 3 includes the purchase of accessible alternative energy shuttle vehicles, installation of shuttle stop kiosks and signage, and launch of a regular shuttle service. The NPS asked the U.S. Department of Transportation John A. Volpe National Transportation System Center (Volpe Center) to conduct work in line with Phase 1. This report evaluates the existing pilot shuttle and determines the feasibility of establishing a shuttle system to serve visitors to city cultural sites, the ferry terminal, and adjacent parking areas. This evaluation assesses the sustainability of a park shuttle service including potential shuttle routes, revenues and expenditures, operating costs, and financial and operational partnerships. New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park ATS Evaluation and Analysis– June 2010 1 Overview of the City of New Bedford New Bedford, Massachusetts, is located roughly 50 miles south of Boston and 30 miles east of Providence, Rhode Island. The city is the seventh largest populated city in the Commonwealth with a total population of 91,849i, though population has been declining since the height of the textile industry in the 1920s. Originally founded by Protestants of English, Scottish, and Welsh origin, New Bedford experienced rapid growth of Irish immigrants in the early 1800s, Portuguese and Cape Verdean immigrants during the height of the whaling industry (1750-1900), and Polish and eastern-European Jewish immigrants in the early to mid 1900s. Following industrial successes in the whaling (1750-1900) and textile (1880-1930) industries, New Bedford’s current economic drivers are commercial fishing, manufacturing, healthcare, and tourism. As of 2007, commercial fishery landings at the Port of New Bedford (Figure 1) had the highest annual dollar value of catch in the country with $268 millionii. Figure 1 Section of the Port of New Bedford. Source: The Volpe Center Several annual weekend events, including Summerfest, an international folk music and arts festival, and Feast of the Blessed Sacrament, the largest Portuguese feast in the world, attracted roughly 35,000 and 100,000 visitors, respectively, in 2008.

  • New Bedford Priority Development and Protections Areas
    City of New Bedford Priority Development & Protection Areas May 2008 EOT (fjjp gC SOUTH COAST RAIL New Bedford Priority Protection & Development Areas PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT AREAS PRIORITY PROTECTION AREAS INTRODUCTION Southeastern Massachusetts is growing rapidly. As a region, we are developing nearly 8 acres each and every day, or about 4½ square miles a year. This is equivalent to fully developing an area the size of the Town of Somerset every 21 months. Development is inevitable. Our region is a desirable place to live and work, and a certain amount of new growth is healthy. But in the past, we have not always planned well for development, and the result has not always been an asset for our communities and region. Good development should be on sites that are matched to their intended uses. Sites for more intensive development need good access, compatible abutting land uses, public water and sewer service nearby, and minimal environmental constraints. These areas need to be located, mapped and appropriately zoned. Likewise, we need to plan to protect our most important natural areas. These are the areas that contribute to our water supply, contain threatened or endangered species or are special due to their scenic or historic features. These areas also need to be located, mapped and appropriately protected. We must steer development toward the appropriate (priority development) areas and away from the critical (priority protection) areas in order to achieve the vision that we have for our communities. In conjunction with the South Coast Rail project and the Southeastern Massachusetts Commuter Rail Task Force, SRPEDD will be working with the cities and towns of the region to identify those areas that are the best ones for development and the best ones to be protected.

  • Assessing the Representation of Live, Native, Terrestrial Mammalian Wildlife In
    Familiar Faces? Assessing the Representation of Live, Native, Terrestrial Mammalian Wildlife in Massachusetts Museum Environments Cheryl Ann Cheney A Thesis in the Field of Museum Studies For the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University Extension School November 2009 Copyright 2009 Cheryl Ann Cheney Abstract Captive display presents the public’s best opportunity to gain firsthand access to live animals under reasonably controlled circumstances, and the museum milieu can further enrich the experience by providing positive, pertinent, on-the-spot interpretation. A main premise of this thesis is that Massachusetts museums may not be taking full advantage of opportunities to introduce citizens to local mammalian biodiversity, what might be interesting or important to know about it, and the ramifications of our shared occupation of the environment. The zoo profession has embraced conservation education as “the best and most viable reason for the continuing existence of zoos [that] can be found” (Hancocks, Different xviii). Traditionally, zoos have concentrated their collection energies on the accumulation of exotic animals. When only exotic animals are on display, it is easier for visitors to ignore the issues that may directly impact upon themselves and their local environment. By collecting and exhibiting native species, zoos can demonstrate that they are of value and worthy of conservation, and educate visitors on how conservation might be accomplished. This thesis assesses: 1) the extent to which, among museums in Massachusetts with a live animal collection, native terrestrial mammalian wildlife species (NTM) are on exhibit; 2) the exhibition style and interpretive focus employed in the presentation of these animals; and 3) the factors that have informed the museums’ collection strategies in this regard.
