Celebrating the 10-Year Anniversary of Back to the Bays!

CCE Marine Program has been giving back to the bays since 1985. Back to the Bays Initiative was created in 2015 to help engage our local communities and stakeholders in the restoration, research, and educational opportunities provided by our work. Join us in celebrating 10 years of community-centered marine stewardship!

Thank you to our Back to the Bays Stewardship Network

As we look back at all we have accomplished in the last ten years with the Back to the Bays Initiative, we want to thank all our stewards, donors, supporters, and partners. Through your continued contributions, we have made enormous strides towards our marine and coastal restoration efforts across the East End of Long Island.
