The Martha's Vineyard Commission prepared a Water Quality 208 Management Plan for Martha's Vineyard in 1977.
The Martha's Vineyard Commission collected a large amount of water quality information from our coastal ponds during 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, funded in part by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
The sampling sites are displayed in the following maps, updated in 2018 but current through present.
