Farmingville, NY – On September 19, Supervisor Ed Romaine was on-hand for the announcement of the 2022 Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Comprehensive Management Plan.

The Reserve includes Long Island’s South Shore interconnected bays and the watersheds from Nassau County in the West to the Village of Southampton and the Shinnecock Nation in the East. It is administered by the New York State Department of State with guidance from the South Shore Estuary Reserve Council and chaired by the Secretary of State and comprised of representatives from the State and local governments, non-profit and academic organizations and other local stakeholders focused on the preservation, protection, and enhancement of the natural, recreational, and economic resources of the Reserve.
