Abstract
Cetacean sightings data for the waters off Montauk for July through early
September 2022
|
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 1996 we have been offering incredible and successful single day and
multi-day offshore pelagic bird and whale observation trips.
