  • 2019 WATER HEALTH REPORT-Draft
    State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report State of the Waters: Cape Cod 2019 Cape Cod Water Health Report Association to Preserve Cape Cod October 1, 2019 Prepared by: Andrew Gottlieb, Jo Ann Muramoto, Ph.D., Jordanne Feldman, Bryan Horsley, Kristin Andres and Don Keeran 1. Introduction The State of the Waters: Cape Cod is an assessment of the Cape’s water quality, designed to help you understand the water quality problems that we face and the actions that are needed to address these problems. The Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC) launched this project in 2019 in order to answer the question: “How healthy are Cape Cod’s waters?” This website is the place to find out about the Cape’s water quality and what can be done to address water pollution and achieve clean water. For this multi-year project, APCC collected existing data on water quality on Cape Cod for the purpose of determining the health of Cape Cod’s waters. APCC evaluated water quality in coastal waters (saltwater), freshwater ponds and lakes, and public drinking water supplies. APCC used existing methods to score water quality and used the scores to distinguish between degraded surface waters where immediate action is needed to improve water quality vs. surface waters with acceptable quality where ongoing protection is needed to avoid any decline in quality. The results are summarized in this annual water health report. To guide public action, APCC prepared a Water Action Plan that contains recommendations for changes in policies, actions, and regulations to improve and protect our waters.
