The Falmouth Water Stewards is a science-based advocacy and education organization devoted to protecting and restoring Falmouth's coastal waters.
The non-profit was originally founded in 1994 as Falmouth Associations Concerned with Estuaries and Saltponds (FACES). Its initiatives include the Falmouth Friendly Lawn Program, the Pondwatch water quality monitoring program, the 'Keep It Blue' stormwater runoff education campaign, and the Water Stewards Program in which citizens adopt a water body and monitor its health, among other projects.
Mr. DeWitt, a longtime Falmouth resident, has been involved in coastal environmental issues for over 30 years. As an attorney, he has worked on several cases in wetlands protection and land use issues. He is also a former Coast Guard helicopter pilot.
Program areas at the Association to Preserve Cape Cod include wastewater education, management and infrastructure financing, town center revitalization and zoning; and agricultural lands protection and implementation of map-based planning.
