A Message from the Supervisor

“Welcome to Islip, the 3rd largest town in New York State, but with an endearing small town feel. We are so proud of our town…our beaches, golf courses, marinas, parks, housing opportunities for all, businesses, industrial parks, healthcare and educational institutions including our own Islip MacArthur Airport that provides many job opportunities. I sincerely hope you find this website helpful.” Angie

The Blue Point Oyster

Oysters are known as “ecosystem engineers.” One adult Oyster can filter from 35-50 gallons per day. Unfortunately, hurricanes, pollution and overharvesting have challenged shellfish populations in the Great South Bay.

To combat this, the Town of Islip’s robust Bay Bottom Licensing Program generates millions of oysters and clams each year, helping to improve water quality and preserve our beloved environment.

Click on the video above to see The Blue Point Oyster, our award-winning documentary film that focuses on our Town's commitment to enhancing shellfish production and improving water quality within the Great South Bay. View trailer here.
