An Act relative to designating the Rumney Marsh as the Joseph T. James area of critical environmental concern

This bill designates the 600-acre Rumney Marsh, located near Lynn, Revere, and Saugus, as the Joseph T. James memorial area of critical environmental concern to honor a local environmental activist. The legislation requires the Department of Conservation and Recreation to install and maintain a physical marker and signage at the site that displays this new designation. By officially naming the area, the bill creates a permanent memorial while maintaining the existing protections for the salt marsh ecosystem.
