Announcing the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Littoral Society

AMERICAN LITTORAL SOCIETY
49th ANNUAL MEETING

The 49th annual meeting of the Society will be held at Montauk, NY, near the eastern end of Long Island, starting Thursday evening, October 21, and ending around noon on Sunday, October 24. As usual, the long weekend is an excuse to get out into littoral territory to see nature in action; there will be evening programs, maybe an owl/star walk, and a brief business meeting and election.

Where: Headquarters will be at Montauk Manor - which includes lodging and meals starting Friday breakfast to Sunday breakfast.

Seals

What: The Montauk area is laced with nature trails, parks, beaches and dunes, all open to exploration and discovery. We'll see migrating birds, seals, tide pools, rock outcroppings and the famous Montauk Lighthouse. Trips will run from Friday a.m. through Sunday a.m. There will be a special dinner on Saturday evening. This year, for an additional fee, we're offering an optional striped bass fishing trip with our tagging director, Jeff Dement. Spaces on the boat are limited so we advise early registration to secure a spot. There will be a special dinner on Saturday evening.
