Today, the once sewage-laden Boston Harbor glistens - and is open to swimmers most summer days.

But what happens next?

On Tuesday, June 14, and Wednesday, June 15, The Boston Harbor Association will hold a public meeting to celebrate the clean-up of the Harbor and help plan the future of the waterfront.

Join aerial photographer Alex MacLean, environmentalist Doug Foy and urban planner Ken Greenberg for a photo presentation and discussion on next steps for the harbor from 6 to 8 p.m. at the New England Aquarium Imax Theatre on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the visioning for the future will continue from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Moakley Courthouse on Fan Pier. Presenters will include Michael Marrella of New York City Planning Commission’s “Vision 2020” and Brent Toderian, Vancouver Planning Director; followed by insights from Roger Berkowitz of Legal Sea Foods, Alison Nolan, Boston Harbor Cruises, Mime Love of Utile Architecture + Planning and Kairos Shen, Boston’s chief Planner. There will be an open mike session for public comments and networking over box lunches.

To register for the free public event go to www.tbha.org.
