Peconic Estuary Program Management Committee Meeting

 

The next meeting of the Peconic Estuary Program Management Committee is scheduled for:

 

Wednesday, June 07, 2017 at 10 a.m.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County 1st floor Conference Room

423 Griffing Ave.

Riverhead, NY 11901

           

The Peconic Estuary is part of the National Estuary Program (NEP), which aims to protect and preserve nationally significant estuaries that are threatened by pollution, development, or overuse. The Peconic Estuary was named an “estuary of national significance” in 1992.



The Peconic Estuary Program is sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS). SCDHS operates the program office and provides the day-to-day management functions and the technical and administrative support to the program.

 

This meeting we will be joined by EPA Headquarters and Regional staff as part of our National Estuary Program-Program Evaluation site visit. The program evaluation occurs every four years to access Peconic Estuary Programs accomplishments and address challenges. We would appreciate if you can attend the MC meeting to lend some insight into how PEP and our partners work together to protect and restore the Peconic Estuary.

We will be touring project sites in Riverhead with the EPA after the meeting.

 

Contact Alison Branco, at 631-852-5750, for more information about this meeting.
