In 2025, Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program released its Long Island Marine & Coastal Field Guide! Waterproof and durable, our guide features over 250 gouache paintings by resident artist and ArtSea Director, Carolyn Munaco, with text and scientific guidance by Back to the Bays’ Science + Engagement Manager, Hazel Wodehouse.
This practical resource provides a concise, visual field guide to the unique flora and fauna found in Long Island’s diverse marine habitats, including our eelgrass meadows, salt marshes, sand and mud flats, oyster reefs, dunes, and ocean beaches. We hope that this guide will become a trusty companion for students, teachers, and citizen naturalists of all ages as they explore and appreciate Long Island’s diverse coastal landscapes.
