About this site

Welcome to Project R.I.S.E., Peconic Baykeeper’s community science initiative to document long-term climate impacts and coastal change in the Peconic Estuary Watershed. Please help support this project by submitting your photos each time you visit this site!

The Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge is located near Sag Harbor, on the north shore of Long Island’s South Fork, and consists of 187 acres, including the Jessup’s Neck peninsula separating Little Peconic Bay and Noyack Bay. Its habitat diversity-- including woods, fields, ponds, and salt marsh- make it a great location for observing native wildlife, particularly birds and many threatened or endangered species. There are also several miles of trails for walking.
