Please Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our educational activities for the time being are suspended. However, our Beach Cleanup and Shellfish Restoration Programs will be active for 2021. We STRONGLY encourage interested participants in our Shellfish Restoration Program to contact our activity captain, Bruce Folz, in advance of attending at the phone number listed below.
As soon as we have received the necessary approvals from the various municipalities involved, we hope to be able to resume some of our educational programs through the summer and into the fall. In the meantime, we intend to make every effort to keep our many volunteers and supporters up to date through regular newsletters and emails.
On behalf of CSLI President Denis Mellett and the Coastal Steward Long Island board of directors, thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hosting each and every one of you at an upcoming event!

On October 17th 2020, Coastal Steward LI was visited by Councilwoman Jane Bonner at the Town of Brookhaven Mariculture facility in Mt. Sinai. She came to see and work with their Shellfish Restoration Program team. On that day, Coastal Steward LI was beginning to load half of the oyster population onto their boat to begin releasing the shellfish into Port Jefferson harbor.
This summer Coastal Steward LI raised an estimated 80,000 oysters averaging in 52.28 cm in size. Councilwoman Bonner was amazed to see the quantity of oysters we had this summer and just how large they had grown. Throughout the years she has shown continuous support for Coastal Steward LI by contributing a helping hand in our education, preservation, and restoration missions. With her and Coastal Steward LI close partnership with the Town of Brookhaven, we are able to keep our waters clean and preserve our harbors.
