The Suffolk County stations west to, and including, Flanders 

 Bay all lie within ramifications of the great indentation from Block 

 Island Sound which splits the eastern end of Long Island. The 

 other stations in Suffolk County and those in Queens County lie 

 along the south shore or on bays extending inland from it. Glen 

 Cove in Nassau County is on the north shore to the west. 



The stations were mostly littoral, or in shallow water generally 

 two or three meters in depth, occasionally to 15 meters, and the 

 algae were taken by hand or with simple tools or nets. However, 

 at a buoy outside Lake Montauk nearly 23 meters depth was 

 reached during a haul with a shrimp trawl, and a number of algae 

 secured. With the same tackle in eastern Long Island Sound a 

 depth of 30 meters was attained.
