14 acres outside Moriches.
Slightly more out of shinnecock.. come on that's nothing..one area off Florida and it's all thru out the State..now this is a reef program..NY dont care.. Cuomo made a big production out of the bridge after nothing his entire term..a few pieces out east since hes been in office..NY all red tape and politics are a disaster
