MV Shipyard Proposal
“Earlier this year, the shipyard submitted a notification form to MEPA for the project, which proposes substantial shorefront modifications to support the construction of a 48-slip marina within Lagoon Pond in Vineyard Haven. The project includes the installation of a 5,000 square-foot floating dock system, nearly 5,000 cubic square feet of dredging and increasing the depth of the area’s current navigation channel.”

Memorandum to Correct the Record EEA# 16115 Martha's Vineyard Shipyard
The MV Shipyard Proposal has the potential to directly impact the Lagoon Pond.
According to State Authorities, a permanent shellfish closure will result in the Lagoon area of the marina due to the nature of the marina expansion.
The Lagoon Pond Association has serious concerns about the project and has been involved since day one to ensure the character and cleanliness of the Lagoon Pond is maintained.
