What are the long term objectives of the Waterways Commission?

The long term objective is to improve the enjoyment of Mashpee’s many waterways, estuaries, and embayments.

We assist the Harbormaster with improving aids to navigation and advise the Mashpee Board of Selectmen with recommendations assisting them with concerns dealing with our waterways. We have been working on a Waterways Improvement Plan that is in keeping with the Town of Mashpee Local Comprehensive Plan. We also work with the Harbormaster to accomplish Maintenance dredging in Waquoit Bay and Popponesset Bay, and continuously work with Town Management seeking permits to dredge the Mashpee River and other areas in need of dredging.
