Join Mickey Maxwell Cohen, American Littoral Society naturalist, to the little known and now-deserted western tip of the Rockaway Peninsula during a full-moon low tide.  Highlights will include seashells and other stranded critters, winter shore birds and a surprising variety of rocks and minerals used in the construction of the Breezy Point Jetty.  Binoculars and a magnifying glass will be helpful. This is an American Littoral Society /  GNRA Partnership Program.
