A study was conducted on
East Pond by Colby in 1999, and one is currently being done by the MDEP to
commercially remove planktivorous fish and may offer suggestive data in the
future.East Pond received a
$50,000 EPA grant to support a graduate student in the two-year assessment
phase of the project, and after this the implementation process is expected
to last a further two years.
