"The Sport Fishing
Education Center"
Located on the
Great South Bay, in the town of Babylon, the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of
fishing, awaits you at the Sport Fishing Education Center.
The
center will feature an aquaculture facility, fishing museum, library, conference room,
activities, events, a rod-and-reel loaner program and much, much more. Adjacent to the
center is the infamous "pier to nowhere", which will now lead out to the State
Channel, and where anglers of all ages will enjoy some of the best fishing the South Shore
of Long Island has to offer.
While
experiencing angling hands-on for yourself, you and your children will learn about the
marine environment, the history of angling, the importance of catch-and-release, and the
conservation of our marine resources. One visit to the Sport Fishing Education Center and
we're sure, you too will Get Hooked on Fishing at "Bobs Place" !
Project
History: The Sport Fishing Education Center project is a first of its kind in the
State of New York. This $1.1 million project is due to the joint efforts of Assemblyman
Bob Sweeney, the New York Fishing Tackle Trade Association Inc. and the Town of Babylon
(for donating the land). The center will continue to sustain itself through the
continuance of grants, fundraising and the generosity of our supporters. The center is managed by the Sport Fishing Alliance, LTD.
