Over the years, the Dorchester Reporter has reported on the water quality at Tenean Beach. In 2018, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) announced it will construct a new and fully accessible playground at Tenean Beach in the City of Boston, but the announcement seems not to have mentioned water quality. In 2020, a report for 2019 said that Tenean Beach had the poorest water quality rating of beaches in the region.
So, 51 years later, we still need attention to our shores.
