Adopt a Storm Drain.
Help Protect Waquoit Bay.

Every storm drain in Falmouth and Mashpee carries rainwater — and whatever it picks up along the way — straight into our watershed. Volunteer to keep an eye on a drain near you and help keep our bay clean.

How it works

It takes about 5 minutes to sign up and a minute or two each month to log a reading.

  2. 2

    Adopt it

  3. 3

    Log readings

    Visit your drain monthly. Snap a photo, note any debris, and submit a reading in under a minute.
