Pre-2017 Newsletters

In 2017 we began using a streamlined newsletter publishing platform, which allows us to send updates directly to your inbox. Prior to this, writing and sending newsletters was more cumbersome, and newsletters were only published once a year. These older newsletters can be found here:

2016-GPF-Newsletter-Spring
2015-GPF-Newsletter-Spring
2013-GPF-Newsletter-Spring
2012-GPF-Newsletter-Spring

A few favorite moments from last weekend’s seine net event! 🐟🌊 ⭐️Thank you again to everyone who came out, explored the shoreline with us, and helped make it such a fun afternoon. We always love getting to share the incredible marine life found right here in our ponds. ⭐️Again thanks to our partners @friendsofsengekontacket and @islandspiritkayak and @masscultural for making this possible and for providing nets! 🚨If you missed this one, we’ll be back out on **August 8 from 12–2 PM** for another seine net program, this time in collaboration with the @lagoonpond at **Doug’s Cove, Lagoon Pond (Oak Bluffs)**. We hope to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones!

Tonight at **6:30 PM**, the Martha’s Vineyard Commission will decide the fate of the Katama Meadows project. This decision will have lasting impacts on Edgartown Great Pond, a place that is meaningful to so many of us. It’s a living ecosystem, a classroom, and a community treasure. Protecting the health of the pond today helps ensure future generations can experience and appreciate it, too. If you’re able, please join the meeting in person or on Zoom. Even showing up to listen makes a difference. To understand the nuance of the situation please read “Decision Time” a piece by Jeremy Houser link in bio👆 Zoom link to the meeting is also in our bio 👆 Hope to see you tonight 💙
