Fisheries

CCE is one of the only groups on Long Island that works directly with local commercial fisherman. We help to ensure this unique and historical way of life is preserved. We work with local, state and federal managers to ensure local fishing is sustainable. We aid in the design and testing of conservation fishing gear that reduces by-catch of non-target species.

Marine Fishes and Fisheries of New York documents the extraordinary diversity of fishes found within the state's inland marine waters and twelve nautical miles off the coastline.

In this definitive resource for the region, Howard M. Reisman and Emerson C. Hasbrouck Jr. highlight 244 species alongside the fisheries and food chains to which they are vital.

Species profiles describe distribution and annual movements, anatomical, physiological and behavioral distinctions, ecological roles, and more. This up-to-date volume also features:

Fishery management and sustainability practices
More than 150 drawings and a color gallery
QR codes linking to fish videos

Marine Fishes and Fisheries of New York is essential for professionals and enthusiasts looking to discover the region's abundance of unique and important fish species.
