A new law will make it easier to transfer New York State fishing licenses among family members.  The law is intended to benefit commercial fisheries on the east end.  It will improve the efficiency of transferring certain commercial fishing licenses to immediate family members if the license holder passes away prior to transfer.

Senator Ken LaValle’s bill was signed into law last Tuesday, August 12^th.  This new law amended the previous environmental conservation law that allowed the Department of Environmental Conservation to transfer commercial fishing license to immediate family members.  In the past, the law defined immediate family members as those who lived with the license holder.  Now however, family members, including children and parents, are eligible to receive a transferred license even if they do not live in the same household.

We’re already halfway through the month of August!  Here are a few of the best waterside activities to do on Long Island before the summer comes to a close.

Visit the Long Beach Boardwalk

Long Beach is a favorite summer destination for many Long Islanders.  The city’s newly reconstructed boardwalk has carts, food trucks, and various vendors.   They also have volleyball courts for more active beachgoers. 

Whale-Watching Day Cruise

Summer whale-watching day trips leave from Montauk.  According to the organizers, the trips were 100% successful last year.  That means that passengers saw whales and/or dolphins on every excursion. 

Fishing At Captree

Captree Boat Basin has about two dozen charter boats that offer full- or half-day fishing trips.  All the gear is provided.  All you have to do is book the trip in advance or show up about a half-hour before sailing time.

Splish Splash

This waterpark is a great spot for families.  They even have a new water ride involving rafts with water-shooting cannons for riders to shoot at other boats.

Sections of almost all of Long Island’s major roadways were closed during this morning’s commute.    Due to the severe flooding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo dispatched both emergency equipment and personnel.

Nearly every major roadway in Suffolk and Nassau County experienced a full or partial closure due to flooding, according to the Department of Transportation.  In many cases, all lanes were closed for several hours.  This caused traffic to back up for miles.

According to the National Weather Service, 13.27 inches of rain were recorded at Islip’s Long Island MacArthur Airport between midnight Tuesday and 10:30 am this morning.  Motorists should be careful when driving today.  Flooding has made commuting difficult across the island.

For tourists and residents, New York is a great place to spend time on the water.  Lakes, rivers, and coastal water ways are perfect fishing and boating destinations.  In an effort to ensure a fun and enjoyable experience on the water, Governor Andrew Cuomo recently announced the addition of 6 new Patrol Boats to local law enforcement agencies across New York.

New York is the 8^th in the nation for registered watercrafts – not including non-powered boats like kayaks and canoes.  New York State allocated a total of $2.1 million to cover the costs of marine safety efforts for 53 law enforcement agencies across New York.  According to Congressman Tim Bishop, “Maritime safety is a top priority year-round, but particularly during the summer months.”  By partnering with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation the department is able to afford state-of-the-arty equipment to patrol waterways at no cost to the county.

A new state law requires school sports coaches to report suspected child abuse to authorities.  This new legislation adds coaches to the list of professionals, including physicians, social workers, and day care providers who are required to report any signs of child abuse.

While the list had already included teachers, it was not clear as to whether or not they rule applied to sports coaches paid by the school district.  Governor Cuomo’s new legislation eliminates any misinterpretation of the law and requires coaches to undergo training on how to recognize the signs of abuse.

Since coaches are often in a unique position of trust with children, supporters of the bill hope that this will help in reporting any suspected cases.  Read more about the new legislation here.
