Summary
The Spittal Pond Project involves rehabilitation of a unique marine pond, polluted by run-off from the neighbouring cattle farm causing eutrophication and species destruction. Installation of fencing, a berm and swale will enable restoration of the pond and protection of species. Spittal Pond is the largest nature reserve on Bermuda, one of the most densely populated and isolated islands on earth. As such it is crucial to effective biodiversity, mitigation of climate change, and community open space.
