USCG Station Rockaway Become National Recreation Area

The U.S. Coast Guard and the National Park Service issued a Notice stating that the Coast Guard plans to close Station (Small) Rockaway on Jamaica Bay, Long Island, New York and consolidate operations at its Staten Island facility. The Rockaway station would be incorporated into the Gateway National Recreation Area. A public meeting will be held in Rockaway on May 27, 2003 to present information on the proposal.
