Abstract

Cetacean sightings data for the waters off Montauk for July through early
September 2021

Purpose

The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island is a non-profit
research and education organization. Our mission is: "To promote and
foster understanding and stewardship of coastal ecosystems through
research and education ." Part of our work is to observe, document, and
collect pertinent data and photographs of the whale and sea bird
populations of NY and New England and to take people to see these
animals in the wild
.

Since 2002 we have been offering incredible and successful single day and
multi-day offshore pelagic bird and whale observation trips.
