Protection

A 100' buffer zone around the pond is protected by the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, M.G.L. c. 131 s. 40 and Regulations 310 CMR 10.00 et seq., and Plymouth's Wetlands Protection Bylaw, Article 27 s.4 and Regulations. 3 (B) (1), (2). The Plymouth Conservation Commission has jurisdiction over the buffer zone. Disturbing the buffer zone around the pond will result in an enforcement action by the Commission which will include fines, restoration costs and potentially incarceration.

NOTE: Great Island's "Little Island Pond" should not be confused with the large pond in the Little Island Pond Conservation Area also called "Little Island Pond".
