Historic storm ravages Suffolk County’s north shore in New York

Along the north shore of Long Island’s Suffolk County from the town of Huntington to Orient Point there is no lack of outdoor opportunities, including fishing, hunting, hiking, and boating.  This includes the historic, and normally bucolic Nissequogue River watershed.
Beginning on the evening of Sunday, Aug. 18, and continuing into Monday morning the Nissequogue, its surrounding communities, and the neighboring Town of Brookhaven experienced one of the most devastating storms in over 300 years.

Commentary: New York missing the boat on federal marine resources funding

In the U.S., 23 coastal states currently require a fee-based marine fishing license for recreational fishing. New York is one of three states that does not; the other two being New Jersey and Hawaii.
After years of discussion in 2009, a Marine Fishing License was established by the state legislature. It required all marine fishermen 16 years of age and older have a saltwater fishing license for a fee of $10.00. Confusion and opposition resulted in then Gov. Andrew Cuomo, convincing legislators to rescind the law in 2011. Three million dollars was returned to those New Yorkers who had purchased the license.
