This is a wonderful community science event to collect data on our local estuary! This project is coordinated by a team of environmental organizations to highlight the ecological conditions from the headwaters to the mouth of the Nissequogue River. Many schools and organizations such as ours participate each year at multiple rivers/estuaries around Long Island collecting data on water quality, biological data (using a seine net to collect any organisms or fish present), tides/currents, weather and physical characteristics of the site. Join us for a fun morning on the water for science!
