A film about Lake Agawam by Chuck Scarborough
LAC
The Lake Agawam Conservancy (LAC) envisions reviving Lake Agawam, its watershed, and its surrounding ecosystems to protect human health and ecological vitality. The enjoyment of a shared natural resource for future generations is of paramount importance. LAC will work alongside the community and elected officials to address sources of water pollution including landscape chemicals and septic systems through educational programs. The LAC will also support scientific monitoring of the lake water and interventions to prevent harmful algae blooms.
“The rehabilitation of Lake Agawam will be successful due to the committed efforts of concerned citizens working in conjunction with Southampton Village and Southampton Town leadership under the direction and guidance as provided by experts in aquatic and marine science. The ‘Jewel of Southampton’ will once again be available for all to enjoy”
“Lake Agawam is at the heart of our community and business district, and so is the health of our water bodies. We thank the Lake Agawam Conservancy for helping us devise both a short term and long term plan to remediate Lake Agawam and restore the health of the lake so it can be enjoyed by all.”
