Fire Island National Seashore
Leave No Trace
 

To keep the park and its beaches clean and healthy, Fire Island National Seashore embraces a Carry-In, Carry-Out policy.

By not having garbage cans on the beach, there is less of an attraction for sea gulls and other birds, which may prey on shorebirds and leave unsanitary droppings behind.

By cooperating with Carry-In, Carry-Out, you can help save money which may be better used to provide lifeguards, maintenance, rangers and other park services. 

While camping, always practice applicable Leave No Trace techniques. (At Fire Island National Seashore, ground fires are not permitted, and other restrictions may apply.) 

"Take only pictures; leave only footprints."

Hundreds of small, round, pearly-pink eggs lie scattered at water's edge beside horseshoe crab molt..

Did You Know?
Horseshoe crabs come near shore on the full moon in May and June to lay thousands of eggs, which are a valuable food source for migrating shorebirds in spring and early summer. Occasionally, a perfectly-formed horseshoe crab molt can be found on the beach, shed as the young animal grows.
