Our waters are an integral part of life for us, making Long Island a desirable place to live. The Marine Program, which became part of CCE in 1985, is known and respected nationally and internationally. Its mission is to protect our waters, providing a clean environment for our fish, fowl and plants.
Our researchers and educators are busy working to inform Long Islanders how we can each do our part to safeguard our environment. Projects have been designed to bring back our eelgrasses and once thriving shell fish populations, provide public education about environmental consequences of storm water runoff, and introduce our young people to marine sciences and marine life on Long Island.
