No one really knows why salt marshes on Long Island Sound and its tributaries (and elsewhere) are dying -- global warming? a nematode worm? fusarium fungus? -- but everyone agrees it's bad. Here's a good roundup of the situation from the Times.
This is a blog about environmental issues in the New York area in general and Long Island Sound in particular. I'm the author of
"This Fine Piece of Water: An Environmental History of Long Island Sound," which came out in 2002. I wrote about the environment and other issues during almost two decades as a newspaper reporter.
