Water Matters, Episode Three: Dick Amper, Executive Director, The Pine Barrens Society
2016-02-05 12:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Grassroots Environmental Education, 52 Main Street, Port Washington, NY, United States
Please tune in this Friday for another episode of Water Matters. For Episode 3, our guest will be Richard Amper of The Pine Barrens Society.
Long Islanders owe Dick and his organization a tremendous debt for saving this primeval expanse of pine forest from development for us and for future generations. See what natural beauty has been preserved for us, and understand how important this area is for the health of our drinking water, and for our ponds, rivers, streams and bays on The East End.

Keep in mind: this program and the two previous episodes — Prof Chris Gobler, Prof. Sarah Meyland — are viewable at any time along with their slide presentations. We are building a library of videos and presentations to educate our young people and all Long Islanders as to the water quality challenges we face on Long Island and how we can together meet those challenges so that we can build a sustainable Long Island, a legacy for those who will come after us.
We will also have a very special guest for our “Soap Box” segment!

Water Matters, Episode 2: Prof Sarah Meyland
2016-01-29 12:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Grassroots Environmental Education, 52 Main Street, Port Washington, NY, United States
Join us today between 12:30 and 1:00 on Water Matters for a live streamed presentation and interview with Prof. Sarah Meyland, who will be discussing where Long Island’s drinking water comes from, the threats to that water supply, and how we can manage this precious and finite resource.

Save The Great South Bay is a proud platinum sponsor of The 2015 Long Island Natural History Conference, to be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory Friday March 20th through Saturday March 21st, with a Sunday sealwalk to close things out.
Cost: $30 per day or $40 for two, with the three field trips also requiring registration, which can be done here at Long Island Nature Organization.
I’d particularly recommend that people hear Prof. Gobler’s talk on Friday, 9:10 AM to kick things off. Entitled “The Effects of Excessive Nitrogen Loading on Long Island’s Coastal Ecosystems,” it will provide a devastating diagnosis as to why our marshes, bays and ponds are all sick, and what large scale efforts it will require to reverse the situation.
This conference is just further proof that Long Islanders are increasingly standing up for their environment, trying to preserve, restore, revitalize a beautiful part of the world before its last traces disappear.

Town of Islip Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Public Engagement Meeting
2015-02-24 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Sayville Library, 88 Greene Avenue, Sayville, NY, 11782
Attention all those who live in Sayville, West Sayville, or Bayport:
You have earned an opportunity to begin to repair / restore / revitalize your coastline. You have been awarded an LWRP aka The Town of Islip Local Waterfront Revitalization Program by Albany. What does this mean? It means that we have for us an advocate who will listen to local residents’ and non-profit’s suggestions for projects that would yield local environmental improvements.
Can you make it to the first “Public Engagement Meeting for the Coastal Areas of Bayport, Sayville, and West Sayville” on Tuesday, February 24th, 2015, from 7-9 PM at The Sayville Library (88 Greene Avenue, Sayville)?
If not, take their online survey. You will find it will really help sort out your priorities. What is most important to you? Is it bringing back shell fishing? Improving shoreline access? Restaurants? Marsh restoration? How much is flooding an issue for you? How do we revitalize our bit of coast on The Great South Bay? How important is habitat restoration to you, or water quality?
In the end, the important thing is that we as a community engage with the LWRP so that we can together plan a better future. Our LWRP will be our advocate in Albany for the plans they deem have the greatest merit. So let’s figure out what they would be. Who would know better than the locals?
Here is a map which our LWRP has jurisdiction over:

Having met with the people who created the LWRP for our three villages, I can see why they were selected. They are architects and civil … make that civic engineers and committed environmentalists who know how nature and development can be brought into harmony, as a mutual benefit.
It is imperative that we (STGSB) work closely with them, actively offering our best advice as to how we should fix our local environments. Where can we in these three villages in Islip find ways to improve the environmental health of our waters? It is Save The Great South Bay’s great hope that our engagement with this LWRP can evolve into a road map for healing our bay. What we end up doing in Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport, may be repeated elsewhere, but only if we are actively engaged in the effort to fix our shorelines.

Songs of Wilderness -- An Art Exhibition By Mixed Media Artist David Adams Celebrating The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Wilderness Act
2014-09-27 10:00 - 2014-09-28 16:00 (America/New_York)
The Fire Island National Seashore is commemorating 50 years of The Wilderness Act with an exhibition by mixed media artist David Adams at the Wilderness Center on Fire Island, just west of Smith Point. From there, its just a mile and 1/4 to see the breach firsthand! The exhibition runs every Saturday/Sunday from 9/6 through 10/12.
Google Maps
Here’s an example of his work:

Here’s a link to a Facebook Page created for the Opening Reception, hosted by Gallery 125, on August 23rd. You can learn a lot about Mr. Adams’ work there.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Mr. Adam’s work will go towards helping Save The Great South Bay create a public map of the breach / Old Inlet / New Inlet that will geolocate all the photos, videos, and graphics on this special place on a time elapsed map, going back to its formation during Sandy to the present day. The map will be home to all the scientific studies on the area, all the amateur nature shots and videos of seal, osprey, stripers, piping plover, and of course the waters themselves.
If you wish to submit any picture or video for this public mapping project, please contact us via this form below, and thanks!

Can Long Island Be Saved? Part X -- It's a CrapSHOOT! You Can Be Part of Save The Great South Bay's Winning Environmental Video!
2014-09-15
Suffolk County is holding a video contest called crapSHOOT. It’s aim is to build public awareness about water quality issues on Long Island. In brief, the root issue is that there are 500,000 septic tanks and cesspools on Long Island. This enormous problem must be addressed or we will lose what remains of our bays, ponds and streams, along with all our marshes, shellfish beds and fisheries in a very short time due to nitrogen pollution, with our drinking water endangered as well. We will lose so much of what Long Island means.
As an organization, we need to have our say. Here then is Save The Great South Bay’s plan to win the contest: We call on all members of Save The Great South Bay and supporters to our cause to submit a video of six seconds or less on the topic of water quality/ what they love about the Great South Bay/ what needs to be done to fix it (or whatever you feel needs to be said or shown — see general guidelines below) and either email them to info@savethegreatsouthbay.org, or post them at either our Facebook Page Save The Great South Bay, or if you are a member at our Facebook Group Page, or send them via the contact form at the bottom of this event posting as soon as you can, ideally by SEPTEMBER 12TH. The contest ends Sept 15th and we will need a couple of days beforehand to edit together all the clips into 1-3 minute videos for submission on YouTube for the contest. With over 1700 members in the group, we could crowdsource something special.
Here is a compelling video produced by Suffolk County itself, by way of kicking the contest off:
CrapSHOOT Film Contest h264
Here is the official announcement, as per Suffolk County’s web page on the contest:

Here are the rules from the Suffolk County website (linked here):
In announcing his new ‘Reclaim our Water’ initiative, County Executive Steve Bellone noted that “The alarming increase of nitrogen pollution from septic systems and cesspools in Suffolk County’s surface and ground waters is leading toward an ecological collapse. Nitrogen pollution adversely affects our coastal resiliency, our environment, our economy, our land values, our tourism industry and our recreational use of our waters. We must take immediate and decisive action to remediate the decades of nitrogen pollution.”
We need your help to improve Suffolk County’s water quality by getting the word out about Nitrogen pollution and being SepticSmart! Please refer to the SUFFOLK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN Executive Summary for information about the scope of the problem. Please refer to the following Environmental Protection Agency website for information on how to be SepticSmart http://water.epa.gov/infrastructure/septic/septicsmart.cfm
The goal of the contest is to communicate the Nitrogen pollution issue and illustrate ways that target audiences such as homeowners, gardeners, farmers, pet owners, communities and others can improve water quality by changing simple behaviors. We are looking for film or video submissions in the following two categories:

a 30 or 60 second video that is usable as a TV public service announcement
a 1-3 minute short film

Examples of possible video topics include:

How septic systems and cesspools contribute to nitrogen in our surface waters and possible new technologies to combat this issue
Low impact development techniques that residents, communities or businesses can use to help reduce urban runoff such as: rain gardens, bioswales, disconnected downspouts, rain barrels, porous pavements, and rooftop gardens;
How wetlands benefit you and your community and how to get people involved in wetland preservation;
Marine debris prevention: individual actions that help reduce the number of items (e.g., plastic bags, food containers, and balloons) that enter our waterways, oceans, and coasts and become marine debris.
Participating in watershed, stream, and beach cleanups as well as storm drain marking projects that can help reduce marine debris.
Nutrient and sediment runoff from agriculture, lawns and golf courses, highways, and suburban areas and actions that people and communities can take to help prevent this runoff.
Why it’s important for citizen volunteers to monitor water quality conditions.

Six winning videos will be chosen (Three 30 or 60 second videos and Three 1 to 3 minute videos) as well as a number of honorable mentions. The winners and honorable mentions will each receive one of our exciting prizes (To Be Announced) and their videos will be featured on Suffolk County’s Web site.

Join us in calling upon our leaders for A Bay Park Ocean Outfall
Keynote Speaker:
County Executive Ed Mangano
February 11, 2014 – 11:00am
Theodore Roosevelt Executive Building 1550 Franklin Ave, Mineola
Join us for a rally to let our federal leaders and Governor Cuomo know that Bay Park needs to be updated to include nitrogen removal and an ocean outfall pipe. An ocean outfall is necessary to save our bays; ensure cleaner ocean beaches; protect public health; and preserve our quality of life. This is not only the best option, it is the only option. We now have the unique opportunity to obtain federal dollars for this critical need. BUT YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED!
The Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant discharged 2.2 billion gallons of raw and partially treated sewage due to Superstorm Sandy.
Ocean Beaches are impacted by the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant’s current outfall pipe in Reynold’s Channel.
