The Little Fresh Pond Association, Inc. was formed in 1986 by long-time residents living beside Little Fresh Pond in Southampton, New York, and now includes people who live near, visit, and use the pond. Its stated aim is to preserve the health of the pond through evidence-based knowledge and careful oversight, and it describes its members as guardians of the pond. The association collects water samples from different locations and depths for laboratory analysis, and advocates with local government after the New York DEC designated the pond as threatened and added it to the priority waterbodies list.
