The Congressman Lester Wolff Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge is a unique marine refuge on Long Island's north shore, providing essential habitat for migratory birds, especially wintering waterfowl, and a variety of other marine life. This 3,209-acre refuge, primarily consisting of subtidal habitats and saltmarsh, is popular for wildlife observation, photography, and fishing (with permits required for shellfishing). It is open to the public, though access is primarily by boat.
