laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Six Nobel Prizes

operate complex, leading edge, user-oriented facilities
in response to the needs of the DOE and the international
community of users.
· To carry out basic and applied research in long-term,
high-risk programs at the frontier of science.
· To develop advanced technologies that address national
needs and to transfer them to other organizations and
to the commercial sector.
· To disseminate technical knowledge, to educate new generations
of scientists and engineers, to maintain technical capabilities
in the nation's workforce, and to encourage scientific
awareness in the general public.
MAJOR PROGRAMS

Hanging at Montauk
The waves at Ditch Plains can sometimes disappoint, but
the vibe never does

The "Tower" stands as the best place to view our beautiful
coastline and it includes a 360- degree wrap around view
of this wonderful beach haven. The National Park Service
resurfaced the Nature Trail Boardwalk that leads to one
the best Surfing spots in the local area; "Backpacks"
& "Poles" named in 2003 during the awesome Hurricane season.
The break is from the "Stairs" to the "Poles" and during
an ESE swell with Northwest winds, it will provide a great
ride in excess of one football field.
From the stairs, one will witness a gorgeous sunset just
waiting for those seeking a romantic evening. A beautiful
wildlife habitat yet the pesky mosquito's can carry you
away during their morning and dusk blood drives! Have
insect repellent handy or visit the Rangers station during
scheduled working hours for a dose. These mosquito's will
bite through Skin So Soft!
We work closely with the National Park Service at the
FINS and conduct FREE SURFING SEMINARS during prescheduled
visits. A great way to understand about Long Island plant
& wildlife, please come and visit our home break and national
park!
Don't forget to visit the William Floyd Estate that is
home to the Osprey!
