We Support Responsible Aquaculture Development on the East End

As homeowners, business owners and frequent users of the waters of Gardiner's and Peconic Bay, we wish to make our voices heard concerning the use of floating oyster cages for commercial aquaculture development.

We support the shellfish industry for its obvious benefits to the environment and livelihoods to many who work on the water.

We are seeking to ensure that these 10-acre oyster lease sites make use of gear that rests on the bottom rather than on the surface, in order to preserve safe navigation and our scenic vistas for all users of our bays.
