EMCA Purpose

The East Marion Community Association exists to preserve East Marion's past, celebrate its present, and protect its future.

EMCA Mission

We achieve our purpose by:
 

  • Protecting East Marion’s rural character and agricultural heritage and enhancing community life in the hamlet.

  • Acting as a catalyst for uniting and mobilizing the East Marion community around issues of shared concern.

  • Monitoring planning, land use, zoning, transportation, public safety and other issues affecting East Marion and informing and educating community members about such issues so they can make informed decision and take appropriate action to protect their rights and interests.

Oyster Farming
on the North Fork

Marine biologist Karen Rivara, retired owner of Southold-based Aeros Oyster Company will discuss the history of oyster farming on the North Fork from the 1980s to now. A pioneer in local hatchery development and shellfish farming, Karen was the first woman and first aquaculture farmer elected president of the LI Farm Bureau. Since 2000, her hatchery has been on land preserved by the Peconic Land Trust.
 
Her vast knowledge of aquaculture and her passion for preserving the quality of our waterways informs her presentation.
