Horseshoe Crab Survey - Get Involved! Seatuck has joined ongoing efforts to monitor horseshoe crab spawning activity on Long Island's beaches. We have adopted a beach at Captree State Park and will be conducting evening surveys around full and new moons through mid-July.
New project seeks to foster connections with the environment by providing a venue for those who are interested in reading and/or writing about the natural world.

Peconic River Fishway Under Construction After almost a decade of hard work and perseverance, the Peconic Estuary Program has begun construction of a permanent “rock ramp” style fishway at the Grangebel Park dam in the Peconic River. This bypass channel will allow migratory fish, such as alewife and American eel to move freely between the Peconic Bay and 1.5 miles of critical river habitat above the dam in Riverhead.
Seatuck Hosts Business Leaders; Overton Honored In anticipation of the grand opening of the new Suffolk County Environmental Center in Islip, the Seatuck Environmental Association held a Business Leaders Breakfast on Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Overton Funeral Home was honored at the event for their long time support of Seatuck.
2010 Alewife Survey - Underway Volunteers are helping Long Island fishery biologists search for alewives returning to Long Island's streams and rivers for their annual spawning migration (April-May). These efforts are important to help inform restoration efforts for alewife, a native species of river herring that is important to the Island's coastal ecosystems. The survey runs through May 30th. Let us know if you're interested in joining the effort.
Seatuck Honored The New York Department of State’s South Shore Estuary Reserve Office recently presented Seatuck with its Allan Aronoff Stewardship Award in recognition of the organization’s work on restoring coastal habitat for migratory fish and educating the public about the island’s coastal resources.
