About the Nantucket Watershed Project.

In 2016 the Nantucket Watershed Project (NWP) started with an observation: Nantucket Harbor is currently in poor health due to a wide array of human activities. Over the past five years, through environmental narrative and digital storytelling, NWP has attempted to unpack larger questions about an increasingly clear relationship between Nantucket’s economic stability and the health of the island’s ecosystems. Currently, NWP represents a variety of perspectives from Nantucket business owners whose lives intimately revolve around the harbor ecosystem. Those voices include scientists, oyster farmers, marine mechanics and more. All of them share a common workspace: Nantucket Harbor. NWP aims to provide a snapshot of the Nantucket’s cultural, economic, and social web that revolves around this unique and delicate aquatic ecosystem. If you would like your voice to be heard or your business to be profiled please get in touch via our contact page.
