The Lagoon Pond Association collaborates with all to protect, preserve and enhance the character of this beautiful estuary. We believe that by ourselves and our community, we can make evidence-based decisions to advocate on actions that will affect the Lagoon to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy it responsibly.
“Lagoon Pond belongs to all of us and we all bear responsibility for its health and well-being. Join us in our mission to preserve and protect this beautiful body of water for our children and our children's children to enjoy!” — Sherry Countryman, L.P.A. President Click here to hear Sherry's interview with MVY Radio regarding the Lagoon Pond Association.
The LPA was formed 1n 1989 by the merging of two similar organizations: the Oklahoma Association in Tisbury and the Eastville-Lagoon Association in Oak Bluffs. Both had the same essential mission—to protect and preserve Lagoon Pond. In 1989 they “came to their senses” and merged to become a single, stronger voice.
