Protecting & Restoring Long Island's Peconic Bays
Two green infrastructure projects In Sag Harbor, located at Havens Beach and on Bay Street
Sag Harbor Village sits on the North Shore of the South Fork, split between the Town of Southampton and East Hampton. With a large tourism economy and bustling marinas, clean water is of the upmost importance. Unfortunately, due to issues such as stormwater runoff, water quality has been affected and local beaches have been closed to swimming.
This project will provide stormwater remediation in Sag Harbor Cove and Havens Beach with four green infrastructure installations. These will manage stormwater and filter pollutants before the water reaches Sag Harbor Bay.
