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
2011-GPF-Newsletter-Spring

🌊 PONDS ARE ALIVE! 🌿🐟🦀 As the water warms, more things grow. Most are harmless, but some can make people and pets sick... Stay Safe: 🩹 Open wound? Skip the dip. 🟢 See green clumps, patches, scum or streaks? Give them space. 🐕 Keep children and dogs away from suspicious water. 👀 Check MV CYANO conditions—but always look at the water before going in. 🚿 After questionable contact, rinse with clean fresh water. Read more in our latest newsletter on how to keep yourself, others, and pets safe LINK IN BIO

🌿🌊 What happens when a tiny underwater plant starts disappearing? Eelgrass may look small, but it plays a HUGE role in the health of Edgartown Great Pond and the surrounding ecosystem. 💚 Take a look at this great WBZ Boston story by Jacob Wycoff @4cast4you on our team working to monitor Edgartown Great Pond eelgrass — and why it matters to all of us who love these waters. 🐚🦀🌱 👀 Watch the video and see what’s happening beneath the surface.LINK IN BIO
