Babylon Creek Defender Earth Day Launch
2017-04-22 12:00 - 20:00 (America/Halifax) | All Along The South Shore, Babylon, NY, United States
ATTENTION ALL BABYLONIANS!
Save The Great South Bay’s Creek Defender Program launches on Earth Day April 22nd along The Carll’s River!
Babylon High School, The Elementary School, The PTA, The Village of Babylon, The Town of Babylon, Seatuck,The I Love Long Island Campaign, South Shore Paddle Boards, and a number of local civic groups and businesses will gather to help clean The Carll’s River. We must defend our creeks. We must stop polluting them with runoff, pesticides, and lawn fertilizers, and illegal dumping. In order to heal The Great South Bay, we need to heal the 31 creeks that flow from The South Shore into The Great South Bay.
We propose to accomplish this by organizing ten person teams of volunteers to go door to door in Babylon Village and along Carll’s River with information on The Creek Defender Program, on ecosafe lawn care and using native plantings, to proper stewardship of this river. Babylon’s efforts on Earth Day will become a model for how we address our other South Shore creeks.
9:00 -12:00 South Shore Paddle Boards will lead a clean up of the Sumpawams, starting at their store at 258 East Main Street.
12:00-1:00 Registration, Staging (DJ), Babylon Elementary School:
1:00 – 4:00 Creek Clean Up. Door-to-Door Campaign promoting ecofriendly lawns, local stewardship, taking the I Love Long Island Pledge to move away from pesticides and chemical fertilizers on our lawns and in our waters.
4:00-8:00 After Party Location TBA. Kick Off by Todd Shaw, Babylon’s Creek Defender (Carlls, Sumpawams, Fosters)
Kudos to Babylon for showing The South Shore the way, and for creating the model through which, creek by creek, we can bequeath a healthier bay to future generations!
If you’d like to participate, drop us a line!

Stay At Least Fifty Yards Away From The Seals:
Seals that are continually being approached never get a chance to rest
Repeated interaction can exhaust seals, leaving them vulnerable to predation and illness
Continued disturbance of mother /pup pairs could lead to abandonment and subsequent mortality of the pup
Never Get In The Water With Seals:
Seals are large, wild animals and can be extremely dangerous
If they feel threatened they may become aggressive in order to defend themselves
Never Attempt To Feed The Seals:
You could get seriously injured
Feeding seals is against the law; you could be arrested and/or fined
Food that isn’t a normal part of their diet will do more harm than good!
Feeding negatively impedes their ability to hunt and locate food on their own
Feeding encourages seals to approach boats looking for handouts
This behavior has resulted in injuries from boat propellers

End Poison Rain - Stop Methoprene
2016-12-12 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | SC Legislative Auditorium, 725 Vet’s Memorial Hwy., Hauppauge
The Suffolk County Legislature, Public Works Committee is inviting commentary on the proposed 2017 mosquito control plan. At issue is the continuation of the aerial assault of 20,000+ acres of wetlands with the toxic pesticide, methoprene.
The State of Connecticut banned Methoprene applications in coastal areas in 2013 because of its lethal effect on crustaceans. Rhode Island and NYC have similar restrictions in place for the same reasons.
Of particular note, in 2007 several members of Suffolk’s own Council on Environmental Quality rejected methoprene use, but their objections were ignored by the Legislature.
Given the stress on our bays from pollution, the body of science and the actions of other governing bodies, it’s unconscionable that Suffolk County continues to poison wetlands and kill aquatic life in the war on mosquitos. A folly to say the least.
Please join us at the meeting and register objections to methoprene and ask for its ommision from the 2017 work plan.

GSB Happy Hour
2016-12-09 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Grey Horse Tavern, 291 Bayport Ave, Bayport, NY, 11705, United States
Save the Great South Bay will be holding the second of three happy hours at The Grey Horse Tavern in Bayport, the place where we were founded by Howard Ryan and Marshall Brown.
It was August 4th, 2012, twelve weeks exactly before Sandy. We’d both come back to where we’d grown up for our 35th Sayville High School reunion, and we were outraged at what the bay of our youth had become.
We will be on hand to discuss how we can all help our bay, whether by participating in our new Creek Keeper Program, by adopting ecofriendly lawn care practices, or by working to bring back our shellfishing industry. We will also discuss how we can be better protectors of local aquatic and marine wildlife.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Save The Great South Bay Happy Hour
2016-12-02 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Tres Palms, 16 East Ct, Babylon, NY, 11702, United States
Save The Great South Bay will be holding a series of three happy hours over the next three Fridays:
Dec 2nd, Tres Palms, Babylon
Dec 9th, The Grey Horse Tavern, Bayport
Dec 16th, Brickhouse, Patchogue
We will be discussing
1. Our Creek Keeper Program
2. Our Local Moratorium on Lawn Fertilizers and Pesticides
3. How we can all become better local stewards of our marine environments and the animals that live in them, especially in light of how awfully this recent whale stranding was handled.
We hope to see you there. Together, we can in fact Save The Great South Bay.
