This information was obtained through extensive interviews and tele- phone conversations with many various governmental and private agen- cies. In addition, all publications provided by these agencies rele- vant to the protection of the islands were examined and organized into a file system for quick and easy reference. Often, information given by one agency conflicted directly with that obtained from another agency. After careful examination, the seemingly accurate data was used, or a new estimate was made. For example, in the case of Ludlam Beach Island in New Jersey, three different figures were obtained from three separate governmental . agencies for the total acreage. Information given by the Office of Shore Protection of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection listed total acreage as 6,292. In a 1967 u.s. Island Inventory, prepared by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation of the U.S. Department of Interior, the island's acreage was listed as 2,000. The figure used in this report is 2,116 acres which was derived from information given by the Cape May County Planning Board. While this figure may include offshore property, it is considered the most accurate after viewing United States Geological Survey Maps and consulting other agencies. This report is intended only to be a general inventory of the status of the barrier island chain in New York and New Jersey. Add- itional specific investigations of individual factors affecting these v Preface (Continued) barrier islands would be most worthwhile. Such investigations might include an analysis of the effects on barrier islands by such pro- grams as Flood Plain Management, Beach Erosion Control, Sewage Treatment, Outer Continental Shelf Oil Development, Tidal Wetlands Protection and other projects. Please note that in many of the general descriptions for each island, reference is made to the 1974 Atlantic Coastal Plain Theme Study prepared for the National Park Service and a number indicating the priority rating given is shown. For clarification purposes, a number one priority rating means that the property is "highly recommended as a potential natural landmark". A property given a number two priority rating is "recommended" as a potential landmark and a number three priority rating is given when there is insufficient information to make a determination. Finally, a number four priority rating is given to property "not recommended" for landmark status. NEW YORK BARRIER ISLAND CHAIN NY-2 INTRODUCTION to the NEW YORK BARRIER ISLAND CHAIN The New York State barrier island chain consists of four is- lands located off the south shore of Long Island. Two of the islands, the Unnamed Island and Long Beach Island have undergone extensive development. The Unnamed Island is used as a popular resort .area consisting of mostly expensive single-family summer houses and some commercial establishments. Long Beach Island is quite urbanized and along with nearby offshore property, supports a year-round population of approximately 53,000 persons. The two remaining barrier islands -- Fire Island and Jones Beach Island -- have remained relatively free from private development and are used for recreational and natural purposes. Fire Island contains the well-used Fire Island National Seashore, Robert Moses State Park, Smith Point County Park and several town parks. As of February, 1976, of 5,350 acres of land on Fire Island, 1,153 acres were pri- vately owned. Jones Beach Island, on the other hand, is publicly owned and contains three State parks and several Town parks. Ex- tensive recreational facilities are provided on both islands. Access is available to all four barrier islands by road and other means. Much of the land located on the bayside and behind the barrier islands are protected under the 1973 New York State Tidal Wetlands Act. However, the law has been slow to be implemented due to the disputes with the aerial photograph contractor which finally ended this past summer. The photographs and public hearings conducted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, are for all purposes completed and final regulations will be in effect Introduction to the New York Barrier Island Chain (Continued) in the near future. These regulations will allow "only those uses of tidal wetlands and a 300-foot buffer strip that are compatible with the preservation, protection and enhancement of the present and potential values of the tidal wetlands". No other State law is known to effectively check future development on the barrier islands. Additional information was obtained on other areas of environ- mental significance in New York State. These areas are Robbins Island, Shelter Island, Gardiner's Island, Plum Island, The· Gull Islands, Fisher Island, Mount Sinai Harbor and The Orient Beach State Park-Long Beach Peninsula (no connection with Long Beach Island). However, these areas are not included in this inventory. A detailed profile of each barrier island in the chain, including maps and statistical data follows. / -- ·- ~ ~- ~~--- a ., R.I. CONN.

The island runs from the Shinnecock Inlet to Moriches Inlet and protects approximately half of Shinnecock Bay, Quantuck Bay and half of Moriches Bay. The remainder of the Shinriecock Bay is protected by a peninsula jutting out from the Village of Southampton to Shinnecock Inlet. Since this land does function as a typical barrier island, it is included as a part of the Unnamed Barrier Island. Actually the Unnamed Island and the peninsula were con- nected until the severe 1938 hurricane opened the present Shinne- cock Inlet. Total length of oceanfront for the entire strip of land from Moriches Inlet to the Village of Southampton is 19 3/4 miles. Maximum elevation is 20 feet and an estimated 1,500 acres of marsh are located on the bayside. As an important feeding ground for shorebirds of Eastern New England, the Moriches Flats, given a number one priority rating in the 1974 Atlantic Coastal Plain Theme Study, is located just north of Moriches Inlet, between this island and Fire Island. It is also interesting to note that the two large barrier islands were con- nected from 1838 to 1931, when the present Moriches Inlet was formed. * This barrier island is not considered to be an actual island due to its proximity to Long Island. However, to suit the purposes of this inventory, it shall be classified as an existing island as it is separated from Long Island by a body of water. NY-6 Barrier Island (Unnamed) {Continued) Development: • The entire strip of land has undergone considerable residen- tial development. It is more highly developed near the Villages of Westhampton Beach and Quogue, as compared to Southampton Beach.

  • Fire Island—Historical Background
    Chapter 1 Fire Island—Historical Background Brief Overview of Fire Island History Fire Island has been the location for a wide variety of historical events integral to the development of the Long Island region and the nation. Much of Fire Island’s history remains shrouded in mystery and fable, including the precise date at which the barrier beach island was formed and the origin of the name “Fire Island.” What documentation does exist, however, tells an interesting tale of Fire Island’s progression from “Shells to Hotels,” a phrase coined by one author to describe the island’s evo- lution from an Indian hotbed of wampum production to a major summer resort in the twentieth century.1 Throughout its history Fire Island has contributed to some of the nation’s most important historical episodes, including the development of the whaling industry, piracy, the slave trade, and rumrunning. More recently Fire Island, home to the Fire Island National Seashore, exemplifies the late twentieth-century’s interest in preserving natural resources and making them available for public use. The Name. It is generally believed that Fire Island received its name from the inlet that cuts through the barrier and connects the Great South Bay to the ocean. The name Fire Island Inlet is seen on maps dating from the nineteenth century before it was attributed to the barrier island. On September 15, 1789, Henry Smith of Boston sold a piece of property to several Brookhaven residents through a deed that stated the property ran from “the Head of Long Cove to Huntting

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
