Malportas Pond is a salt-water pond on the north coast of Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, near North Side village.
[1] It has an area of 44 hectares (110 acres)[2] or 52 hectares (130 acres),[3] and like the nearby Rock and Point ponds, it is an important area for breeding waterfowl.
[3] Local farmer Willie Ebanks introduced West Indian whistling-ducks on the pond in 1990, and it also has populations of heron, egrets, moorhens, and coots.
[4] It forms part of the Central Mangrove Wetland Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports populations of waterbirds.
