On June 2, ECO Rob McCabe was checking catches at the Shinnecock Inlet in Southampton when he heard a loud splash behind him. He spun around to see that a fisherman he had just checked was gone, along with the section of dock where he was standing. ECO McCabe grabbed his throw rope and a life jacket and sprinted to the location, where he found the man clinging to a piling in the water. ECO McCabe threw the rope to the fisherman. Together, the ECO and a nearby good Samaritan were able to lift the man out of the water and onto a sturdy dock. The man was treated for minor lacerations to his arms and legs but suffered no serious injuries
