Like so many coastal ponds in Massachusetts and throughout New England, salt ponds in the Town of Falmouth are showing signs of diminished water quality and ecological stress. With their extensive shorelines and generally restricted circulation and flushing patterns, these ponds are usually the first indicators of nutrient pollution along the coast. Since 1987, the Citizen Volunteer Monitoring Effort for Falmouth's Coastal Ponds (better known as the "Pond Watchers") has been providing much needed water quality data for the development of data-based management plans for now five coastal ponds in Falmouth, Massachusetts. This project represents a unique partnership between local citizens, town government, and WHOI scientists whereby scientific information generated through the efforts of citizen volunteers under the guidance of WHOI scientists is applied directly (and immediately) to planning decisions for the town. The success of this project depends largely upon the efforts of a group of private citizens with wide ranging backgrounds and educational pursuits, all sharing a common interest in maintaining the health of their nearshore coastal waters.

The 1990 field season of the Citizen's Monitoring Project for Falmouth's Coastal Ponds proved to be highly successful, due primarily to the enthusiasm and dedication of Falmouth's Volunteer "Pond Watchers." Through their continued efforts, data from four years of sampling on three of Falmouth's ecologically fragile coastal salt ponds (Oyster, Little, and Green Ponds) have been compiled. A major expansion of the volunteer effort, coupled with a more focused temporal sampling scheme based upon the experience in these three ponds, has enabled a major project expansion in 1990 to include two additional ponds (Bournes and Great) in the sampling program.
