Get Involved

We welcome new members, both individual and business, to the Lagoon Pond Association (LPA). The LPA is a public interest group dedicated to improving the quality of the environment around Lagoon Pond on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. LPA members have the opportunity to keep up to date on critical issues influencing the water quality in the Lagoon through both our own programs and more generally by affecting the policies and actions of several governmental entities that have influence on the environment around the pond.

Our Impact

30+

Years Serving Communities

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.

Acres impacted

The Lagoon Pond estuarine system is a simple estuary with a single armored inlet through the barrier beach. Its 3,889 acre watershed is situated along the eastern edge of Martha’s Vineyard and is bounded by the Sengekontacket Pond watershed to the east. Lagoon Pond itself is 573 acres and lies in a north/south orientation with one small tributary cove referred to as the West Arm, and the main tidal reach consisting of a lower , middle and upper basin based upon geomorphologic features.
