2022 Long Island Sound Report Card Released by Save the Sound

Thursday, November 17, 2022

LARCHMONT, N.Y. and NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regional nonprofit environmental organization Save the Sound released the findings of its 2022 Long Island Sound Report Card on November 17. The biennial report has now compiled 14 years of water testing results in the open waters of Long Island Sound and four years of testing more than 50 bays and bay segments in the region. After previous years of improvement, the 2022 report raised concerns for the future, finding that trends towards improving open water quality have stalled in several portions of the Sound and poor grades in bays have persisted. Equally concerning, the report’s science advisors noted that previous gains in water quality may be threatened by rising water temperature in Long Island Sound. There were hopeful signs, as well, indicating that efforts to reduce nitrogen pollution are having a positive impact in the western Sound, demonstrated by modest improvement in open waters of New York City. The report was released with simultaneous events at Eastchester Bay on City Island in the Bronx, NY; Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, CT; and Northport Harbor in Northport, NY, on Long Island.

Key Points: 
  • Water Quality Improvement Leveling Off, Rising Water Temps Raise Concern
    Modest Signs of Improvement in NYC, Even as Many Area Bays Struggle

  • Further, the 2022 Long Island Sound Report Card demonstrates that the waters of eastern Long Island Sound continue to register excellent grades, driven by strong tidal exchange with the Atlantic Ocean and lower population density, relative to areas further west.
  • Data on water quality in the bays of Long Island Sound were compiled by 24 partner organizations working with identical water testing procedures in the Unified Water Study, funded by the federal EPAs Long Island Sound Study and administered by Save the Sound.
  • Results from the 2022 Long Island Sound Report Card have been posted to www.SoundHealthExplorer.com .
