Water Quality at Oyster Pond Water Quality at Oyster Pond and nearby areas OPET's members in collaboration with Falmouth Pondwatchers and area students take measurements of the pond and its surrounding area all year round to monitor everything from oxygen levels to wildlife and fishlife populations.
Frequent monitoring is insurance for the pond's long term health and sustainability.
Water quality at Oyster Pond is an ongoing issue with more houses being built in the watershed, the influx of ocean water from the weir, and how much new fresh water enters the pond.
