News just in from our associates at the Natural Resources Nantucket:
Harmful Algal Blooms Monitoring Program (HAB) continues to test our ponds on the island. They found that today, Friday, September 23, 2022: Washington Pond has occurring harmful algal blooms.
They strongly advise that you should not go in the water or allow your pets near any ponds if the water appears to have green paint/scum. Please stay out of that water!
The Natural Resources Nantucket department will post updated findings of HAB occurrences every Friday on their Instagram Channel and the town website in English and Spanish.
You can sign up for weekly HAB updates sent directly to you by texting “Join HABS” to 30890.
