2017 Annual Report Mashpee Is a Community That Supports Commerce and Economic Development Town of Mashpee 2017 Annual Report Mashpee is a community that supports commerce and economic development. Through stew- ardship that honors our rich history while embracing purposeful change, we have made Mashpee a place that supports a robust year round economy while attracting visitors from all across the country, with many returning year after year. Mashpee’s experienced and savvy citizenry have built a thriving business community that con- tinues to expand in every area – from retail, to healthcare, to hospitality and the trades. Mashpee business owners have a reputation as being creative, hard-working and dedicated to the broader community. It is no surprise that individuals from all walks of life, with a vari- ety of skills, talents, interests and ideas, choose to bring their business here and why so many of them call Mashpee their home. Mashpee’s sound fiscal condition and commitment to ensuring residents have access to the goods and services they desire help make Mashpee a great place to live and work. The Town’s economic development initiatives are fine tuned to improve the fiscal health of the communi- ty while supporting efforts to protect the land and natural resources in our custody and care. We recognize that economic and environmental sustainability are closely linked; therefore, when we think in terms of growth, we always consider the environmental impact connected to it. Investments in environmental protection and restoration are viewed by the Town as an investment in our long term economic sustainability. Building on the success of previous economic development initiatives, we look forward to see- ing new projects unfold – projects that are designed to attract people to the Town of Mashpee and, more importantly, to enrich the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and plays here.

  • E. Fisheries and Wildlife
    E. Fisheries and Wildlife Until recent decades, the vast majority of Mashpee’s territory was the domain not of man, but of beast. Our woods were only occasionally broken by a roadway, or a few homes, or a farmer’s fields. The hunting was good. Our clear lakes were famous for their fishing. Our streams flowed clean to pristine coastal bays teeming with fish and shellfish that helped feed and support many families. Much has changed with the explosive development of the last fifty years, and much of our wildlife has disappeared along with the natural habitat that supported it. However, much remains for our enjoyment and safekeeping. In this section we will look at Mashpee’s fish and shellfish, its mammals, birds and insects, important wildlife movement corridors and those species living in our town which are among the last of their kind. 1. Finfish Mashpee hosts four types of fin fisheries: fresh water ponds, rivers and streams, estuaries and coastal ponds and the open ocean. Our four large ponds provide some of the best fishing in the state. 203-acre Ashumet Pond, 317- acre Johns Pond and 729-acre Mashpee-Wakeby Pond are all cold water fisheries stocked with brown, brook and rainbow trout. In the last century, such famous anglers as Daniel Webster, President Grover Cleveland and the famous actor Joseph Jefferson looked forward to their fishing expeditions to Mashpee, while local residents looked forward to the income provided serving as guides to those and other wealthy gentlemen. Ashumet and Johns Ponds are also noted for their smallmouth bass, while Mashpee-Wakeby provides not only the smallmouth, but also chain pickerel, white perch and yellow perch.

Background This report presents the results generated from the implementation of the Massachusetts Estuaries Project’s Linked Watershed-Embayment Approach to the Popponesset Bay System a coastal embayment within the Towns of Mashpee and Barnstable, Massachusetts. Analyses of the Popponesset Bay System was performed to assist the Towns with up-coming nitrogen management decisions associated with the Towns’ current and future wastewater planning efforts, as well as wetland restoration, anadromous fish runs, shell fishery, open-space, and harbor maintenance programs. As part of the MEP approach, habitat assessment was conducted on the embayment based upon available water quality monitoring data, historical changes in eelgrass distribution, time-series water column oxygen measurements, and benthic community structure.
