Martha’s Vineyard's great ponds have been a source of sustenance and beauty for countless generations of Islanders. Recently, many of these ponds appear to be at a tipping point, with algae blooms choking out shellfish, and cyanobacteria making the water unsafe for pets and humans.

Produced by Circuit Films in partnership with the Vineyard Conservation Society, Great Ponds is a three-part series documenting the health of these spectacular coastal ponds, and what our community is doing to help.

Episodes 1 and 2 have been completed, and you can watch both here. We are currently fundraising for the third episode.
