Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Marine wildlife sanctuary in Nassau County, United States.
The refuge spans 3,209 acres of marine habitats, including salt marshes, tidal flats, and estuarine waters on Long Island's north shore.
Established in 1968 through a donation from the Town of Oyster Bay, the refuge surrounds Theodore Roosevelt's former residence at Sagamore Hill.
The waters support the last commercial oyster farming operation on Long Island, producing 90 percent of New York's commercial oysters.
The refuge remains accessible exclusively by boat and requires Town of Oyster Bay permits for shellfish harvesting activities.
During winter surveys between October and April, the refuge records over 20,000 waterfowl, including black ducks, scaup, and canvasback species.
