PLEDGE FOR THE PECONIC ESTUARY

We find and declare that

The Peconic Estuary is an important natural resource that provides incomparable beauty and significant recreational and commercial benefits;

The Peconic Estuary’s living resources, water quality, and aesthetic character have suffered from development and other human uses; and

Restoration and protection of the Peconic Estuary’s environmental quality require focused management by a partnership of Federal, State, and local governments, affected industries, academia, and the public.

We therefore pledge to restore and protect the environmental quality of the Peconic Estuary through the preparation and implementation of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan.
