Environmental conservation organization created to protect our coastal communities and the surrounding waterways from industrialization to maintain residents’ quality of life as well as preserving the rights of nature.
Protect Our Coast Long Island NY (POC-LINY) is a Long Island group of residents.
The group’s committee resides mostly in Long Beach, Island Park and other south shore communities, we have an interest in protecting the environment in ALL of Long Island’s coastal waters. We are committed to protecting every inch of Long Island’s coasts, be it the ocean or the sound as well as the natural communities and neighborhoods that surround them. The group seeks to identify, and mitigate or avoid, any adverse impacts that could result from the transmission line cables, substation(s) and other infrastructure.
More broadly, POC-LINY was formed to promote: (1) the conservation of natural environments on land and in the sea; (2) the preservation of natural habitat; (3) the protection of human health and welfare; and (4) preservation of community character through orderly development. The group opposes the inappropriate industrialization of Long Island’s remaining natural environment.
