4) If you are looking to visit Sandy/Morse Points or Griswold Point, please provide your vehicle information (make/model) and license plate information, including state if other than CT. Unless you are a resident with a sticker, do not visit West Haven until you receive a parking pass as you will be ticketed if you do not pay for parking.

For everyone who has already submitted 1) mailing address information 2) schedule and location 3) vehicle information (if applicable) and 4) attended or watched training, you're all set for now. We will keep you updated on progress for paperwork of all forms and our birds. If you can casually visit your beach on your own time between now and April, it's always a good idea.
Thanks again and best,
