Seatuck Coastal Restoration & Innovation Center
About the Seatuck Coastal Restoration & Innovation Center
The future Seatuck Coastal Restoration & Innovation Center, located in a portion of the former Bluepoint Hatchery at the West Sayville Boat Basin, will advance protection and restoration efforts of coastal and estuarine ecosystems across Long Island. Once open, the Center will serve as a hub for applied science, developing and implementing solutions that improve ecological health and strengthen coastal resilience for both wildlife and nearshore communities.
We’ll be sharing more details about the Center including anticipated programming over the coming weeks and months, so please check back for updates.
