a day in the life of the peconic  estuary

RHS and RMS Participate in an Analysis of the Peconic Estuary

A Day in the Life of the Peconic

(October 23, 2015 - Riverhead, NY) On October 23rd, thousands of students and volunteers from the East End of Long Island collected data on the Peconic Estuary to be compiled into an official “Day in the Life of the Peconic Estuary” database. Claire Yannacone's HS Earth science class and John Barona's Living Environment class traveled to Indian Island to collect data. The Middle School Environmental Club was invited to be a part of the program as well. The Environmental Club collected their data in the bay via the Atlantis Explorer boat.
