This illustrated series of presentations are centered on a DEC/USGS co-sponsored research program on the comparative health of four Long Island north shore marshes. The results of this research have recently been presented to the public at Town Hall meetings in Glen Cove and Lattingtown. This is an opportunity to learn about the program and the research planned for Flax Pond.
