Our mission is to promote and foster understanding and stewardship of coastal ecosystems through research and education
The Coastal Research and Education Society of Long Island, was founded in the summer of 1996 by a group of experts in marine mammal science, environmental sciences, education and conservation. CRESLI was formed for the purposes of conducting research, providing educational experiences and promoting conservation of coastal ecosystems. Research and education are inextricably linked in all CRESLI activities. As such, CRESLI actively seeks cooperative alliances with researchers, educational institutions, and the participation of the public. Our seal and cetacean research projects, for example, utilize public whale watch cruises, seal walks, and seal cruises as platforms for collecting data and educating the public at the same time.
We've shown that the waters of Long Island are important habitats for whales, dolphins, and seals (and the occasional wayward manatee). Help us advance our understanding, research, and outreach. Help us protect these critically important animals and the other components (biological and physical) that allow these ecosystems to thrive in this ever-changing and challenging world
