Some of the properties that Westerly Land Trust owns are open to the public and have nice hiking trails. An interesting one down the street from us is the "Dr. John Champlin Glacier Park". Here there are signs explaining how the glacier formed the land we live on. From "Charlie's Overlook" you can look over Winnapaug Pond to Misquamicut Beach out to the Atlantic Ocean and sometimes Block Island and Long Island are in sight. Go to westerlylandtrust.org for detailed information.

Quonochontaug Pond is our nearby coastal lagoon. Quonochontaug means black fish. It is the deepest and most saline of the salt ponds. It is now connected directly to the sea by a breachway that was stabilized with rock jetties by the US Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s. The town boundary between Westerly and Charlestown cuts through the middle of the pond. Water quality in past years has been very good because the pond is relatively deep, well flushed by the tides, and development has been limited. Quonnie is the least intensely developed of any of the ponds. Most of the development is residential and much of it is occupied only seasonally. Like all of the ponds, Quonnie is an important nursery for winter flounder, young striped bass, blue fish, and tautog. Bay scallops fluctuate in abundance from year to year, but in a good year, they are often found in this salt pond. The shoreline is part of the Atlantic Flyway, a major migratory bird resting area. “The salt ponds have probably been in some kind of existence, they wouldn’t have looked exactly like today but probably would have been in about the same spots about 4 - 5,000 years ago,” said Bryan Oakley, associate professor of environmental geosciences at Eastern Connecticut State University. “That coincides with when global sea level was kind of slowing down when the last of the Laurentide, the big ice sheet, started to melt. They’re not geologically super old, but certainly, they’ve been around for a number of thousands of years. What was on the shore face or the area offshore before that, we don’t have a good handle, because they would have gotten chewed up as the shoreline migrated across to where it is today.” The sea level was more than 3 feet lower during that early period, so sections of the ponds that are now shallow would probably have been completely dry. “Areas in the back that are shallowed out would not have been inundated yet,” Oakley noted. “They wouldn’t have had water on them … The exact extent of inundation kind of depends on the elevation of the land underneath the lagoon.” Each of the salt ponds has its own geological characteristics, determined by the retreat of the glacier, which began about 11,600 years ago. The salt ponds have been and continue to be a valuable resource for members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. Lorén Spears, executive director of the Tomaquag Museum, described traditional practices that extended far beyond fishing and shellfishing. “Everything that was edible was eaten and everything that was useful was used in any way that it could be made into something else,” she said. “Just to use an example, a shell like the quahog shell, it’s not just the food, but the shell can be turned into a ladle. It can be flipped over the other way and with a long stick, be a hoe for your garden. It can be broken apart and cut and shaped into beads, wampum beads or white beads or the purple beads that we know today as wampum. Everything has multiple uses, so our ancestors and even our people still today often think, is it edible? Is it medicinal? Is it useful? Is it spiritual? And in many cases, it’s all of the above.” The salt ponds are relatively shallow, allowing sunlight to reach the bottom, which encourages the growth of eelgrass. With their sheltered, calmer waters, the ponds are also important nurseries for fish and shellfish, and give them access to the ocean when they are more mature. The ponds also provide important food sources for birds, migrating monarch butterflies and horseshoe crabs, and serve as buffers during storms. Art Ganz, a retired marine biologist who has lived on the shore of Quononchontaug Pond since 1970, is the director of the Salt Ponds Coalition. Incorporated in 1984, the coalition monitors water quality, conducts public outreach programs and promotes the protection and conservation of the salt ponds at the state's General Assembly. Ganz agreed that development is a significant contributor to the decline of the ponds' health. Small summer cottages have given way to large year-round homes that are crammed onto small shoreline lots. More efficient septic systems, which remove nitrogen, have encouraged more building along the shore. “Years ago, people had an outhouse, a seasonal house, a cesspool, they probably didn’t have washers and dryers in those cottages,” he said. “Today, they’re big, big houses and they house lots of people and unfortunately, the technology that was developed for these denitrification systems was essentially intended to improve the efficiency of areas, say, replace a cesspool with a denitrification system. But the back side of it is, because of this technology, a lot of these properties that we would consider unbuildable, with high groundwater and everything else, are now allowed to be built on. So as far as I’m concerned, this kind of backfired.” In addition to effluent from septic systems, nutrients from animal and bird waste and lawn fertilizers enter the ponds. Nutrient overloads are the cause of eutrophication, a condition that depletes the oxygen in the water. Coliform and Enterococcus bacterial contamination, which was a problem in 2018, is also a growing concern. Ganz said it is a challenge to make summer residents aware of environmental conditions until they are personally affected by them. “I get very, very frustrated, particularly where I live,” he said. “There’s so many summer people that come in and everything is rosy from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but they really don’t care too much about what goes on in the off season and the changes that we are seeing, the changes in our beaches, the effect of the king tides and the ever-so-gradual sea level rise that people don’t pay attention to. These are very real things that need to be looked at on a year-round basis … We saw this when we had the bacterial problem in some of the ponds. People were some upset.” For many Rhode Islanders, including members of the Narragansett Tribe, dense development has also created an access problem. “We’re eastern woodland coastal people but we don’t have direct access in the sense of lands that are ours, that are on the salt ponds,” Spears said. “Every year, there’s always some kind of new blockade to keep people out of salt pond areas in various places in South County.” Cassius Spears, director of the Narragansett Food Sovereignty Initiative, described once-productive ecosystems that were dramatically altered when the ponds became thickly settled. “You can go down to the pond any time of the year and you’ll see myself or a family member … just enjoying the therapeutic part of reminiscing about how this pond must have looked during the time of our ancestors,” Spears said. “So when you want to look at changes around the pond, and I tell this even to my grandchildren, I point around the pond and I say, ‘Look, see all these houses over here? How many Indians do you think live in some of these houses here? I think you’ll find it’s most likely not even one.'" Spears said he likes going to Ninigret Pond because it is relatively accessible and the least degraded. “I feel that it probably has the least amount of abuse than all the ponds in the area,” he said. “To be able to go and see a nice bed of eelgrass is really important, especially when you see how devastated the other ponds in the area are.” Recent dredging at Ninigret and Quonochontaug ponds has raised the hope that water quality will improve with increased tidal flushing. “We have dredged, including just this last year,” Lee said. “Initially, the sand all went back on the beach where it came from … to re-nourish the beach system. Last year, they went onto salt marshes because there’s concern that we’re going to lose our salt marshes because they’re not keeping up with sea level rise. That’s really an experiment to see if that’s doable.” As conditions around and in the salt ponds change, there will be no choice but to adapt. The only constant with the salt ponds, Oakley said, is continuous change. Storms impact the barrier beaches, which in turn have an impact on the salt ponds behind them. “The bottom line is, no matter what, it’s not going to get better because they’re migrating under the influence of storms and in the background of all that is sea level rise,” he said. “What sea level rise starts to do is give more significant impacts to smaller but more frequent storm events, so we’re not waiting on infrequent storms to have a big impact. You start to have a more significant impact from smaller event … The barriers might migrate faster and then, sometime down the road geologically, we’ll be talking about what’s happening with the size of the lagoon or the changes to the lagoon, because of the barriers moving back. It’s always been a dynamic system and the geological reality is they’re extremely dynamic systems and they’re formed and modified by those important processes.” Many text parts taken from Salt Pond Watchers Summary Data Report 1985 – 1987, Coastal Resources Center, University of Rhode Island Technical Report No. 10, October 1990, by P.
