Cape Cod's seasonal economy is being impacted by nitrogen in coastal waters. The Cape Cod Commission is completing a water quality management plan pursuant to the Clean Water Act. We are designing the future of water quality through community consensus using GIS-based decision support tools, regulatory reform and innovative technologies. Working across town lines will save residents billions of dollars and will change the environmental, economic, and social landscape of Cape Cod for generations.
