One of the best things that could happen to Long Island Sound would be for Connecticut and New York to spend more money buying land on the coast and on the tributaries. Some details about Connecticut's plan for doing so are here.
Yet another legacy of the industrial era: virtually unsolvable dredging problems, this time in Bridgeport, where the sediments are still fairly heavily contaminated. Details here.
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.
