Murray,Director <br /> Massachusetts Environmental Police <br /> 251 Causeway St. <br /> Boston,MA 02114 <br /> Dear Colonel Murray: <br /> Since the accident on 23 July involving a personal watercraft and a swimmer in Mashpee- <br /> Wakeby Pond,there has been increased presence of Environmental Police Officers. This stepped <br /> up patrol effort has been most welcome,and is having a noticeably beneficial effect on "safe" <br /> boating activity on the pond <br /> People tend to behave themselves and act more responsibly when the Environmental <br /> Police or the Harbormaster personnel are in the vicinity. <br /> We have recently updated our"Boating in Mashpee-Rules and Regulations" pamphlet to <br /> reflect the new regulations pertaining to Mashpee-Wakeby Pond. When it is approved,we will <br /> provide you with a copy. We will be handing the pamphlets out to boaters at attended boat <br /> ramps,to boaters on the water when possible,and pamphlets may be mailed out to Mooring <br /> Permit holders along with their mooring bills this coming season. We hope this educational <br /> process will supplement the enforcement process that is improving the situation. <br /> If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 508 477 0147, or, my e- <br /> mail is: jphanlcsCmediaone.net <br /> Very Truly Yours <br /> T a,,,�t„ b',toe <br /> James P.
