What is the Peconic Estuary Program?
|
Aliens Invade the Estuary!
Plants and animals from distant lands have colonized the Peconics, displacing native species and interfering with human activities. These "invasive species" are spreading rapidly, and the PEP is working to rein them in and reduce their negative impacts on the estuary. Join us on July 12th & 13th, 2008 as we attempt to eradicate one particularly pernicious invasive plant, the water primrose.
