New York NEMO Sea Grant Program - Link to New York NEMO Sea Grant Page

New York Sea Grant (NYSG) started a NEMO program to help Long Island municipalities address nonpoint source pollution and protect natural resources. One of the challenges to stormwater management on Long Island is the many levels of municipal government. Within the Island’s two counties are 2 cities and 13 towns. In addition, within the 13 towns, there are 95 incorporated villages. Hence, NY NEMO’s stormwater management recommendations emphasize intermunicipal approaches to ensure cost effective, optimal resource protection. In doing so, the NYSG NEMO Program, while facilitating municipal Phase II compliance, has also contributed to increased efforts to leverage expenditures and to jointly address shared water quality concerns through co-implemented Phase II stormwater management programs.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Estuary Program became a charter member of the National Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) Network in September, 2007. The mission of the program is to protect the Hudson River Estuary and its watershed by promoting natural resource-based planning through outreach programs to municipalities and watershed groups in the ten counties of the Estuary watershed. The Hudson River Estuary Program will work with local partners to organize and enhance current programs with techniques and resources from the National NEMO Network.
