Vision Summit

Join us for a guided bay adventure in the beautiful Orient Beach State Park with local east end native ecologist and naturist Chris Paparo, otherwise known as the Fish Guy!  Your choice of single or double kayak from our friends at Eagle’s Neck Kayak Rentals.

Chris is a wildlife photographer, award-winning writer, and lecturer who is driven by a passion for raising public awareness about the island's rich biodiversity. With a Bachelor of Science in Marine Science from LIU Southampton, he currently manages the Marine Sciences Center at Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus, and is very active in the local marine preservation community. And of course his social media nature documentation on his accounts @fishguyphotos.

Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a first-timer, this will be a relaxing, educational evening on the bay.
