Fisheries
We are CCE Fisheries, a department within Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County’s Marine Program. All throughout the year, the Fisheries Team focuses on all things fisheries – testing new and upcoming fishing gear, collecting biological data on the species most important to our fishing industries, holding events to introduce local seafood to Long Islanders, and so much more. We’re here to ensure the voice of our local marine fishing industry is heard, whether it be for new fishing regulations, or coexisting with ocean construction projects.
