The Long Island Coastal Research Education Association is an OAP partner that provides the opportunity to view large marine mammals safely and responsibly. Their mission involves conducting research and promoting the protection of coastal ecosystems while providing educational experience and advocating more citizen participation in marine scientific research. Action 61 Fisheries Entry Point Kiosk Project provides information on recreational fishing and fish identification in multiple languages. This project aims to provide recreational fishermen with information on salt water fishery regulations. Information to provide fishing season closure, baggage restrictions and size restrictions is now available. Information kiosks also provide information on species identification and other marine habitat information. This project provides opportunities for OAP to educate the public and encourage marine and marine management.
