The Center for Marine Education and Recreation at Oyster Bay, known as The WaterFront Center, is a not-for-profit 501©(3) organization.  Its mission is to serve the public by encouraging students of all ages to become actively involved in the preservation of the environment and to promote the safe, enjoyable use of marine resources.  The WaterFront Center accomplishes its mission through marine education programs for in-school and after-school groups, sailing lessons through its sailing school and public sails and charters on the restored historic oyster sloop Christeen.
