Project Overview

In order to better address the ever increasing need to engage and educate the public on issues relating to the marine and coastal environment, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County (CCE) has partnered with the Town of Southampton to develop an outreach and education center at the Tiana Bayside Facility.
