That’s a wrap on the 2026 Long Island Sound Celebration Days!

Over the past two weeks, we celebrated the Sound in Connecticut and New York, with three family fun events with opportunities to get out on the water, explore the shoreline, try hands-on activities, learn about local wildlife, and experience the Sound from new perspectives.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Sherwood Island State Park, Oyster Bay, and Randalls Island, and to all of the partners, organizations, and volunteers who helped make these events possible.

We’re already looking forward to doing it again next year and continuing to bring people together to explore, enjoy and connect with Long Island Sound. We hope to see you there!

How can a hurricane hundreds of miles offshore affect water quality in Long Island Sound?

Last August, when Hurricane Erin passed offshore, its winds and waves mixed the Sound's waters, bringing oxygen rich surface water deeper into the water column. After the storm, hypoxic conditions we no longed detected at monitoring stations.

The event gave scientists a striking example of how weather and timing can shape hypoxia from year to year, even as long-term reductions in nitrogen pollution have improved conditions in the Sound.

Our latest story takes a closer look at what scientists learned from Hurricane Erin: https://ow.ly/otnq50ZASGZ
