Town of Nantucket

Report a bloom sighting and learn more about our Harmful algal blooms monitoring program. Weekly updates will be posted June through October each year.

The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for Nantucket is a 20+ year outlook for transportation in the region and is required to remain eligible for federal funding. This updating must be completed by August 2023 and will build on previous planning efforts to set investment priorities for the multi-modal transportation system that is sensitive to the character of the island.

This project is the expansion of a Town Water Main as part of the Town’s voluntary efforts to address potential PFAS contamination in private wells west of the Airport.

HABs are algal blooms with the potential to harm human health or aquatic ecosystems. In freshwater systems, cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) are microorganisms that can produce HABs. If you notice a pond with dense mats and green paint or scum on the surface of the water, and foul odors, report it here!

The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for Nantucket is a 20+ year outlook for transportation in the region, updated every four years, and is required to remain eligible for federal funding. The LRTP includes an assessment of demographic trends, identification of projects and programs to achieve the Vision and Goals, and establish priorities to implement with anticipated funding. This updating must be completed in August 2023 and builds on previous planning efforts to set investment priorities for the multi-modal transportation system that is sensitive to the character of the island.
