The Mashpee Environmental Coalition board voted this month to review and expand its website, so more recent town initiatives and assets are highlighted — including Mashpee’s Pollinator Gardens, the Herring and Shellfish Programs, Mashpee Community Garden, Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, Mashpee Community Park and Veterans Garden, and the Mashpee Environmental Coalition scholarship. With an aim at finding new ways to collaborate, information about local, like-minded organizations will also be expanded to include groups such as Mashpee Clean Waters, Save Popponesset Bay, Citizens for the Protection of Waquoit Bay, and Friends of the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge.

In 2003 the Mashpee Environmental Coalition introduced the “Pond Health Program” with volunteer water samplers measuring and recording water column parameters in each of Mashpee’s six major ponds with public access. Collected data was made available to the scientific and local communities. Below are data collected between 2000 and 2013.
Mashpee’s Department of Natural Resources has since taken over the collection of water samples from Mashpee’s waterways.
