Do you ❤️ Edgartown Great Pond? Whatever your connection to the Pond, we all share 🤝one essential responsibility; to preserve & protect this rare Island treasure. Right now more than ever the Pond needs your help. ⚠️ Edgartown Great Pond is at its tipping point.
Adding more nitrogen will push it over the edge. In 2022 Edgartown Great Pond exceeded its nitrogen limit. As a result we lost hundreds of acres of eelgrass and cyanobacteria🦠 increased. As of 2025 the Pond is showing signs of resilience and eelgrass is beginning to return. Adding more nitrogen will reverse this progress, potentially making restoration impossible. 
If we don’t act now, the swimming 🏊‍♀️ , sailing ⛵️ , shellfishing 🦪 we all take for granted will no longer be an option. You cannot swim in a toxic pond. It’s a privilege to live here and be part of this community, where your voice matters. 📣Please raise your voice.. 📅 Join the MVC hybrid meeting
Thursday, February 12 | 6:30 PM
There will be continued discussion on the Katama Meadows proposal.

The Great Pond looks like a frozen tundra. Please be safe and remember that brackish ponds take longer to freeze 🥶 than freshwater ponds because of the salt 🧂. For now, we are admiring this winter ❄️ wonderland from the shore. #edgartowngreatpond #marthasvineyard #islandlife #frozen #ice

🔴Edgartown Great Pond is currently rebounding and eelgrass is returning💚! We have seen eelgrass growth with our own 👀in numerous locations in the pond. However, this progress and ecosystem could could be threatened… 🔴The controversial proposed housing development in Edgartown, formerly known as DRI 773 (Katama Meadows), is once again under review with a slightly modified proposal and a new DRI number, DRI 780. This means that the new proposal will NOT include comments previously submitted about the Katama Meadows project. The previous proposal received 70+ letters from the community in opposition… YOU can help…. 📣Please raise your voice for the Great Pond. If you have submitted a comment before and you would like to submit now, email morrison@mvcommission.org before TOMORROW, January 22 5pm A full discussion on this project will be held at the MVC tomorrow, January 22 at 6:30 pm… please attend in person or on Zoom. MORE INFORMATION ‼️ ✉️ Read GPF’s complete letter to MVC 🔗 in bio 👆 🚨For more information about the project and tomorrow’s meeting 🔗 in bio 👆

🌊We are all connected by water. Property lines and town borders may divide us, but water as it flows through and around the Island, connects us. Nature is not parceled or partitioned. Even trees are communicating, cooperating, and sharing through hidden networks beneath the soil. In a time of division and isolation, if we look to nature, we see the truth of connection and our shared fate. Water connects us as it flows downstream into our ponds and ocean, our places of peace, reflection and nourishment. 💧 Now is the moment for our community to protect the water that connects us. ✨ Let’s end 2025 with a spark of hope and a commitment to the work ahead. 👉 Tap the link in bio to give. Your gift today will sustain our living waters, advance science, and inspire future generations to safeguard these precious ecosystems. #ConnectedByWater #ProtectOurPonds #IslandLife #GreatPondFoundation #grateful #December #pond #water #frozen #winter #MarthasVineyard
