EHSA and the EH Town Litter Action Committee removed fifteen garbage bags of disgusting litter from throughout Maidstone Park – one of East Hampton’s signature spots. Why it is necessary to educate people that using idyllic public spaces as their personal garbage cans is not cool is beyond us.
Bring your questions and suggestions as we discuss all topics with these fellow sportsmen.
Discussion will be driven by what Members care/ask about, but count on learning about at least these topics:
– Fishermen/boat captains always have comments on slots and limits and timing of the announcements.
– How the state run spring turkey sites gone (e.g. Barcelona Neck). Is that oversight still needed?
– There are areas of state land in Montauk such as Hither Hills that seem like more hunting should be allowed.
– There are areas of EH/MTK that seem in need of prescribed burns to avoid wildfires. Are downed pine beetle trees a risk?
– Recreational lobstering topics.
– Any examples of avian flu on waterfowl populations observed?
– Any chance of an increased bag limit on Canada geese? Tons of them around.
– Any special insights on lack of ducks?
– Any examples anywhere of successful anti litter campaigns or enforcement?
– Non resident, comercial-looking, fishing/shellfishing in our waters. What’s up with that?
– Upstate, the duck and goose seasons are short and too early. Tons of geese everywhere. Does complaining/suggesting to DEC help in maybe making changes?
Please arrive early or on time, as we expect a big turnout and have a lot to cover.
