DEC marine biologists collect many types of information during their studies and analyses conducted in New York State tidal wetlands. Some of this information is available to the public. Listed below are some of the photography, maps and videos that are available for viewing. Images of the 1974 Tidal Wetland Inventory maps are available using the link in the column to the right. Paper copies of Tidal Wetland maps are also available at NYSDEC Regional Offices (Stony Brook, Long Island City, and New Paltz). Please contact the Division of Marine Resources Bureau of Marine Habitat to make arrangements for viewing this information.
