Abstract
Cetacean sightings data for the waters off Montauk for July 2024 through mid-
September 2024
|
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 cetaceans 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.
