Overview

The South Shore Estuary Reserve Council is chaired by the New York State Secretary of State and comprised of representatives from State and local governments, non-profit and academic organizations and other local stakeholders focused on the preservation, protection and enhancement of the natural, recreational, and economic resources of the Reserve. The Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Act charged the Council with developing a Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for the South Shore Estuary Reserve, which was released in 2001. The Council guides actions that are taken to fulfill goals of the CMP.
