This small river fed lagoon set among dunes and dry scrub hills of the East Coast gives one the feeling of being on a different island. Also privately owned, Green Pond and environs are at risk of development.

The University of the West Indies has done a series of spatial studies on Long Pond and Green Pond and the dune system between them and suggests that this area should be considered a whole conservation area rather than separate.
