The mission of the Nassau County Youth Board is to promote self-esteem,
positive values and morals, citizenship, dignity, as well as physical, social,
and mental well-being among the youth of Nassau County through youth
and community development. Our guiding principles are empowering
youth, strengthening families, creating healthy alternatives, developing
communities and establishing partnerships and service integration. It is
important that young people have an opportunity to learn and grow within
communities that represent the kind of world in which they live. We need
to support and replicate programs that work, experiment with initiatives,
cross systems programming and build capacity for programs for youth
most in need. We move forward to create opportunities for young people
creating a culture of responsibility, service and citizenship through the
development of partnerships among government, the non-profit sector,
schools, businesses, and other community organizations.

The South Shore Estuary Reserve was formed by the New York State
Legislature at the urging of Long Islanders concerned with the long-term
health of their South Shore Estuary. West to east, the Reserve stretches
from the Nassau - Queens county line to the middle of the Town of
Southampton. South to north, it extends from mean high tide on the ocean
side of the barrier islands to the inland limits of the watersheds that drain
into the bays.
The relatively calm, protected waters of the South Shore Estuary provide
the basis for the water-related economic and recreational activities that
have evolved from boat building and the harvesting of oysters, hard
clams, and salt hay, to recreational boating, sport fishing, waterborne
transportation, and tourism. Today, the Estuary is home to the largest
concentrations of commercial and recreational vessels, marinas, and
other water-dependent businesses in the State, and some of the finest
recreational opportunities around.
