It would run adjacent to Ocean Parkway for approximately 23 km (14.3 miles). The shared-use path would provide direct access to Jones Beach State Park, Tobay Beach Park, Gilgo Beach, Cedar Beach Marina, and Captree State Park. Ocean beaches would also be accessible from the shared-use path through existing pedestrian underpasses at the Town and State Park facilities. It would provide an opportunity for non-motorized forms of transportation and recreation. Users of this shared use path would include bicyclists, pedestrians, and in-line skaters. The width of the path would be 13 feet (4 meters) and would conform to the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition it would have support facilities including bicycle parking, rest areas, drinking water, phones and other amenities at the various parks located along Ocean

They get their name from the shallow waterbodies they’re found in, such as the Peconic, Gardiners and Shinnecock bays here in New York’s marine waters. Shellfish, which include scallops, clams, oysters, and mussels, can be harvested from certified waters in New York year-round, with the exception of bay scallops. Bay scallop season opens on the first Monday of November, which this year is November 5th and closes on March 31st. To retain bay scallops, they must be over 2-¼ inches in length from its mid-hinge to mid-bill and also display an annual growth ring (pictured), which ensures they have been able to reproduce prior to being harvested. Bay scallops have a relatively short life expectancy, averaging about 20-22 months but could live up to 26 months.

This guide includes the ramps located in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. If you are interested in information on boat ramps and fishing access to the counties in New York City, please refer to the NYSDEC publication titled, “Fishing the Marine Waters of New York City”. This publication is available on the NYSDEC website at www.dec.ny.gov. This list is provided for your convenience, and while it is as complete as we could make it, some facilities may have been omitted. The information in this guide is subject to change, which is beyond control of the NYSDEC. It is best to call using the phone numbers provided to get the most up to date information on a particular ramp. Several private marinas are listed that have boat ramps open to the public for a day use fee. These are listed in the guide as “Private‐Day use fee”. Be sure to call the marina to verify the information before traveling there. The NYSDEC does not endorse any of these facilities. Our best attempt was made to survey all marinas with ramps on Long Island in order to determine which were available for public use.

The parallel population decline in migratory shorebirds such as Red Knots, Calidris canutus, Ruddy Turnstones, Arenaria interpres, and others that seasonally feed on the copious quantities of HSC eggs laid along this shoreline resulted in reduced HSC collection permits to numbers considered sustainable.

  • Captree Substation to Ocean Parkway 23Kv Transmission Cable Replacement
    State Environmental Quality Review NEGATIVE DECLARATION Notice of Determination of Non-Significance Project: Captree Substation to Ocean Parkway 23kV Transmission Cable Replacement Date: March 3, 2021 This notice is issued in accordance with Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental Conservation Law and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617 and 21 NYCRR LXXXI 10052. The Long Island Power Authority (“Authority”) has determined, based on information provided by PSEG Long Island and GEI Consultants, Inc. and the Environmental Assessment Form Parts 1, 2 & 3 prepared by PSEG Long Island that the Proposed Action described below will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared. Name of Action: Captree Substation to Ocean Parkway 23kV Transmission Cable Replacement Location: East side of Robert Moses Causeway, southern portion of Captree Island & north of Ocean Pkwy, Captree State Park, Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York SEQR Status: Unlisted Conditioned Negative Declaration: No Proposed Action Description: The Proposed Action involves the replacement of a portion of an existing 23kV electrical underground (UG) cable circuit connecting the Captree Substation located on Captree Island to the Robert Moses Substation located on Fire Island. The portion of this cable to be replaced is between Captree Substation and Ocean Parkway on northeastern part of Jones Beach Island (see Figure 1). This portion of the circuit has experienced multiple faults since 1994, which has resulted in power outages. Power outages related to cable failures are anticipated to continue unless the Proposed Action is undertaken.

  • Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Sandy Oceanfront Beaches in the U.S
    Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Sandy Oceanfront Beaches in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: South Shore of Long Island to Virginia1 Tracy Monegan Rice Terwilliger Consulting, Inc. March 2015 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS’s) most recent 5-Year Review for the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) recommends increasing “efforts to restore and maintain natural coastal formation processes in the New York-New Jersey recovery unit, where threats from development and artificial shoreline stabilization are highest, and in the Southern Recovery Unit, where the plover’s habitat requirements are the most stringent …. This action is also critical to reducing adverse effects of accelerating sea level rise” for the breeding range of the federally listed (threatened) Atlantic Coast population (USFWS 2009, p. 195). Data are needed to identify habitat modifications that have altered natural coastal processes and the resulting abundance, distribution, and condition of currently existing habitat in the United States (U.S.) Atlantic coast breeding range. Two previous studies (Rice 2012a, 2012b) provided these data for the U.S. continental migration and overwintering range of the piping plover, including North Carolina where the breeding and overwintering ranges overlap. This assessment provides these data for one habitat type – namely sandy oceanfront beaches from Montauk Point to Virginia along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. prior to Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. A separate report assesses tidal inlet habitat prior to Hurricane Sandy (Rice 2014). Additional separate reports will assess the northern portion of the U.S.
