Marine Waste Pump Out

Overview


Efforts to improve water quality have continued throughout the town with the utilization of a pump out boat and a fixed pump out station at Packet Landing.


Through a partnership with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Clean Vessel Act) thousands of gallons of marine waste have been removed from Yarmouth vessels free of charge.  


Water quality tests have proven the effectiveness of the program, and the marine waste along Yarmouth’s shoreline has continued to diminish.
