<p class="Default"><a name="_Hlk80687952"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Green infrastructure is a team effort, requiring buy-in from multiple agencies, partner organizations, and the public to leverage funding and sustained support through
the planning, implementation, and maintenance phases. Nitrogen and bacteria pollution in the Three Bays Watershed in Cape Cod, Massachusetts has created water quality and habitat impairements, leading to closures of beaches and shellfish areas. Over the past
six years, an ongoing partnership between the Town of Barnstable, Association to Preserve Cape Cod, Horsley Witten Group, and multiple local community groups has led to the identification of over 70 locations for stormwater improvements in the watershed, including
nine green infrastructure practices to remove pollution from runoff before it reaches the bays.</span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk80687952"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
