Review for Peconic Baykeeper Inc, Hampton Bays, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I don't know the Peconic Baykeeper well but am very aware of the service that Kevin McAllister provides. His organization is invaluable to all of us in this area, whether or not we are aware of its activities. Kevin McAllister is dedicated on our behalf and often appears to be the only one on his, or our, side. I particularly appreciate how well the Baykeeper is able to communicate both the details and the big picture when he talks to the public and is asked to explain the extent to which uncontrolled development has damaged, and could continue to damage, our bay water. Our family enjoys shellfish, swimming, and summer guests - all of which rely on keeping environmental standards high.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

knowing that the Peconic Baykeeper was willing to fight the Southampton Town Trustees about the Dockers issue (permit approval of a project that to all intents and purposes did not look as if it should be approved).

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the ability of the Peconic Baykeeper, Kevin McAllister, to communicate both the details and the big picture, in his struggle to preserve the bay waters from the negative effects of uncontrolled development.
