Bring Back The Blue! Find out how you can help! 

Welcome to the CapeKeepers website. Our mission is to encourage Cape Codders to learn about the effects of wastewater from our septic systems on water quality and to take responsibility for the health of our ponds, bays and estuaries.  We hope you will become a CapeKeeper and join us in our efforts.

Becoming a CapeKeeper is easy and it’s free.  Sign up here and we will keep you informed of upcoming events and progress on planning for wastewater treatment in your town.

The CapeKeeper website provides information about the effects of nitrogen in our wastewater on our surface water bodies; current activities of the regional Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative and the state Massachusetts Estuaries Project; actions the towns are taking to address this issue; fact sheets; links to other resources; a calendar of upcoming events and more.  Just follow the menu items and you will be on your way to learning about how we can keep our waters clean.

Become a Cape Keeper today. Get involved in your community’s efforts to protect water quality and the resources that make Cape Cod special. Help keep the Cape safe and beautiful.
