Fire Island

Later in October, I met with the same faculty member from Stony Brook teaching in the department of Ecology and Evolution and set off to fire island.

While we were on our way out to sea, he said the area has been a hotspot for re-nourishment programs. The National Park Service has been dredging sand from offshore and pumping it onto the beach to make it larger. The reason for this was because the beach has been getting smaller due to various weather conditions and coastal erosion. The project was estimated to cost around 25 million dollars, which will be paid for the by residents of Fire Island through tax increases.

We fished for some striped bass with live eel as bait.
