  • Songs of Wilderness — An Art Exhibition By Mixed Media Artist David Adams Celebrating The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Wilderness Act

    The Fire Island National Seashore is commemorating 50 years of The Wilderness Act with an art 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.

    A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Mr. Adam's work will go towards the creation of 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.

  • Town of Islip Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Public Engagement Meeting

    Sayville Library 88 Greene Avenue, Sayville, NY

    Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport, have earned an opportunity to begin to repair it's coastline. We have now what is called an LWRP -- a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program -- so that we can together, as citizens of these towns, begin to fix our streams, ponds, marshes and bays. It is imperative that we work closely with them, actively offering our best advice as to how we should fix our local environments. Where can in these three villages in Islip we find ways to improve the overall 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 roadmap for healing our bay. What we end up doing in Sayville, West Sayville, and Bayport, will be repeated elsewhere.

    So even if you can't make this first meeting of three, at least take the LWRP's public survey gauging people's priorities as we seek to revitalize our coasts. Is supporting shore line restaurants more important to you than flooding? How important is habitat restoration to you, or water quality? The important thing is that we as a community engage with the LWRP so that we can together plan a better future for our community. Our LWRP will be our advocate in Albany, for the plans they deem have the greatest merit. So let's tell them. Here is their survey, whether or not you can come Tuesday night between 7-9 to 88 Greene Avenue, Sayville, to the public library, to deliver your suggestions in person.

  • Water Matters, Episode Three: Dick Amper, Executive Director, The Pine Barrens Society

    Grassroots Environmental Education 52 Main Street, Port Washington, United States

    For years in the late 80's / early 90's, developers and environmentalists fought over the fate of The Pine Barrens, a 50,000 acre forest of scrub pine in the eastern half of Suffolk County. In the end, the preservationists prevailed, securing this land for future generations, and saving a unique and diverse habitat from destruction. Our water supply was at the same time protected.
