The Peconic Estuary is
part of the National Estuary Program (NEP), which aims to protect and preserve
nationally significant estuaries that are threatened by pollution, development,
or overuse. The Peconic Estuary was named an “estuary of national significance”
in 1992.
The Peconic Estuary Program is sponsored by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation,
and the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (SCDHS). SCDHS operates
the program office and provides the day-to-day management functions and the
technical and administrative support to the program.
