The Bays Around Us

Rachel Carson wrote that “the realities of science are the realities of life itself.  We cannot understand the problems that concern us in this, our particular moment of time, unless we first understand our environment and the forces that have made us what we are, physically and mentally.”

In this spirit, with its particular relevance in the aftermath of recent storms, the Museum hopes to encourage young people to observe and help shape the future of our increasingly fragile Long Island, for that future is theirs.

Considerations for selection include quality, message, inventive observation and creative interpretation of our maritime world on the East End of Long Island. To paraphrase Einstein, looking at what everyone else is looking at and seeing what no one else is seeing.

Be mindful that part of the excitement of science, and art, is not knowing quite how one’s questions will be answered – results of observations can be surprising!

The Museum is also seeking sponsors for scholarships and prizes to be awarded to the most innovative projects.
