The Health of the Waters in Three Bays

​Zenas “Zee” Crocker will discuss Osterville’s and Cotuit’s shared watershed: its history, demographics and components. What makes our Three Bays unique among the 53 watersheds on Cape Cod? What has led to this watershed being the third most troubled on Cape Cod? What do we understand about the problem of nutrient overload and how can we solve it? Besides municipal treatment, what can be done to improve water quality in the bays? Over the course of his extensive travels during his career in the financial services industry, Zee became aware of the increasingly compromised global environment, especially regarding air and water pollution. This experience led him to greater concern regarding local conditions and challenges here on Cape Cod and taking the helm of Three Bays Preservation (now Barnstable Clean Water Coalition) in his “retirement.”
