Plum Island, a federally owned part of the Town of Southold, is of national significance for its natural areas, wildlife and plant life, and our history and cultural heritage. As the world-renowned Plum Island Animal Disease Center prepares to move its mission to a new laboratory in Kansas, the Preserve Plum Island Coalition (PPIC) continues to advocate for comprehensive conservation and management solutions that safeguard this national treasure in the public trust. Louise Harrison, Long Island Project Manager and Senior Science Advisor at Save the Sound, coordinates the PPIC’s activities. She will present a photographic tour of Plum island, why it should be preserved in perpetuity, and the latest status of the preservation campaign.
