  • NYS Takes Step to Protect Whales, Seals, and Sea Turtles Around Plum Island
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 18, 2019 Contact Laura McMillan, [email protected], 540-292-8429 NYS takes step to protect whales, seals, and sea turtles around Plum Island Southold, New York – In the span of just a few hours last Friday, the New York State Assembly and Senate unanimously passed legislation to improve protections for marine mammals and sea turtles in New York waters of eastern Long Island Sound. It also allows for the creation of a New York State bird conservation area. The Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Protection Area legislation establishes a protection area in New York State-owned waters around Plum, Great Gull, and Little Gull Islands that recognizes the zone as important for sea turtles, whales, porpoises, and seals; it is designed to not negatively impact fishing. The bill directs the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to bring together the expertise of a broad range of organizations and individuals, including marine researchers, museums and academics, state agencies, and local governments. This advisory committee will be asked to consider how the archipelago and the waters surrounding it are interconnected, and then develop recommendations for protection measures. The bill, originally written and sponsored by Assemblyman Steve Englebright, has been proposed for several years. “This legislation will make the most of experts in marine life and birds, agency personnel and local officials, nonprofits, and others in considering the ecologically integrated relationship among Plum, Great Gull, and Little Gull Islands and the waters around them—and how to protect that area’s diverse and valuable marine resources, as well as traditional fishing activities,” said Louise Harrison, New York natural areas coordinator for Save the Sound.

The Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Protection Area provides the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation authority to protect marine mammals and sea turtles in the protected area to the extent such species are not already protected under federal and state law. The new protection area recognizes the biologically rich waters around the three islands and extends from mean high water seaward to 1,500 feet, or further in shallow areas—to the outermost limit of waters 15 feet in depth. The boundaries will be described and depicted on a map for the general public and for purposes of inventory, research, and reference. The law also states a bird conservation area may be designated. The law lists harbor seals, gray seals, harbor porpoises, Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, and green and leatherback sea turtles among the species using the protection area, which lies within the boundaries of two estuaries of national significance, the Peconic Estuary and Long Island Sound.
