Please let us know if there are issues in the Bay or on the Spit we might help resolve.  We were recently notified of a rusty wire cable sticking out of the sand.  We contacted Little River Boat Yard to come by and they removed it at no charge - thanks! Also, we returned a fallen sign to the Mashpee Harbormaster - our current signage made that one redundant.

With the approval of the Mashpee Conservation Commission, we installed a couple of new signs at Overwash Area #4 to discourage people from setting up atop the dunes and reducing their height. We want the dunes strong to withstand the next storm. 

We alerted the Waterways Commission to some shallow spots inside the Bay, although it will be tough to address those before we dredge again next winter.

Did you know?  Last fall, the new Harbormaster, Steven Mone, had his team remove over 12,000 pounds of debris from the Popponesset Bay and Ockway Bay?   Old pilings, docks that had sunk, and remains of boats that were under water, all taken away to the dump.  Great work by Harbormaster Mone and his team.

Remember, fertilizers on lawns are not only bad because they introduce nitrogen to the waterways and bays, but the Town of Mashpee has imposed strict regulations (section 31) on the use of certain fertilizers in coastal areas.  If you feel you must fertilize your lawn near the water, please try to use the least-damaging types of fertilizer.
