Goals
- Ensure a healthy and diverse marine community; optimizing opportunities for water dependent recreation.
- Promote the social and economic benefits, which have been associated with the Peconic Estuary System.
- Establish a comprehensive water quality policy, which ensures the integrity of marine resources, habitat, and terrestrial ecosystems while supporting human activities in the Peconic Estuary study area.
- Ensure an effective technical, regulatory, and administrative framework for the continued monitoring and management of the Peconic Estuary study area.
- Achieve zero discharge (from point and nonpoint sources) of toxic pollutants, and particularly of bioaccumulative chemicals.
- Promote an understanding and, thus, appreciation of the value of the Peconic Estuary as an ecosystem and as a mainstay to the East End economy so that it is preserved and restored as one of the last great places in the Western Hemisphere.
- Involve the many and diverse stakeholders in the Peconic Watershed regarding the implementation of the CCMP and in the future direction and decisions affecting the estuary.
