Harbor Committee
During the summer months, Fishers Island has many summer residents and visiting groups who love to use West Harbor as a summer retreat. The Fishers Island Harbor Committee has jurisdiction over these waters and is responsible for its careful and safe use. The moorings and Bay Patrol folks have for many years kept West Harbor a safe and clean harbor for all to use.
