• Activities on the public fishing pier, upland, and surface waters to involve the community.
• Exhibits of Oyster Bay's historic maritime activities.
• Scientific research facilities for various programs such as marine biology, aquatic ecosystems and water quality monitoring.
• Aquaculture facilities to serve as an educational tool.
• Boat-building and model boat-building workshops.
