The Advocate - Sound's fish and sediment rate poorly in EPA report: "Wetlands, river mouths and other Long Island Sound estuaries were rated among the poorest in the nation in a report by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

The agency looked at sediment toxicity, fish contamination, bottom-feeder diversity and water quality in estuaries on the East Coast, West Coast, Gulf of Mexico and Puerto Rico."
