  • Save the Sound (“CFE/Save the Sound”) Work to Protect and Improve the Land, Air, and Water of Connecticut and Long Island Sound
    Meghan Quinn LIS DMMP/PEIS Project Manager Corps of Engineers, New England District 696 Virginia Road Concord, MA 01742-2751 October 16, 2015 Re: Dredge Material Management Plan Dear Ms. Quinn: Connecticut Fund for the Environment and its bi-state program Save the Sound (“CFE/Save the Sound”) work to protect and improve the land, air, and water of Connecticut and Long Island Sound. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Dredge Material Management Plan (“DMMP”) for Long Island Sound. While many agree that dredging is frequently the best means of maintaining safe channels for navigation, accessible marinas for recreation, and open ports for commerce, the material that results from this effort is often seen as a by-product to be discarded rather than a resource to be harnessed. CFE/Save the Sound supports the beneficial re-uses identified in the DMMP, particularly as a resource for habitat restoration and coastal resiliency projects. While the DMMP began the process of evaluating the wide array of beneficial re-use options, it stops far short of being a “comprehensive planning process and decision making tool.”1 Furthermore it fails to provide a sufficient path to significantly “reduce or eliminate the disposal of dredge materials in Long Island Sound,”2 the goal agreed upon by New York and Connecticut. CFE/Save the Sound has three key comments: 1) beneficial re-use is a real opportunity that requires additional assessment, project identification, and project coordination through the DMMP; 2) any economic analysis used to determine the “feasibility,” “practicability,” or “viability” of any project, must also include the environmental cost of using the Sound as a disposal facility to fairly reflect the true cost of disposal; and 3) additional information on the impact of disturbing, transporting, and disposing of nitrogen rich soils must be developed, analyzed, and monitored.

    The Long Island Sound Office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Look For Us On The World Wide Web http://www.longislandsoundstudy.net A Partnership to Restore and Protect the Sound NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jane MacLellan, Fish and Wildlife Service Liaison with the EPA LIS Office, (203) 977-1541 LISS Identifies Significant Coastal Areas for Stewardship Stamford, CT, June 10, 2005 -- The Long Island Sound Study Stewardship Initiative is working to identify places along the Sound’s coast with significant ecological, scientific, or recreational values. Now, the LISS will present to the public a list of areas around Long Island Sound that best exemplify those values (attachment). A series of public meetings sponsored by the Study’s Long Island Sound Stewardship Initiative are scheduled between June 13 and June 22 in several Connecticut and New York locations. Public input is being sought on the draft list of inaugural stewardship areas. Each area includes sites of natural habitat important for wildlife or sites that support recreation activities and access to Long Island Sound. Each meeting will feature a local expert who will talk about the values of a specific local site and specific opportunities for improved stewardship. Information on the Long Island Sound Stewardship Act legislation that has been introduced in Congress will also be provided. Based on recommendations of the Long Island Sound Study Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan and the 2003 Long Island Sound Agreement, the Stewardship Initiative is a collaborative effort to identify places with significant ecological or recreational value throughout the Sound and develop a strategy to protect and enhance these special places.

  • Breeding Populations of Terns and Skimmers on Long Island Sound and Eastern Long Island: 1972-19751
    1974-1977 No. 73 PROCEEDINGS OF THE LINNA A SOCIETY OF NEW YORK For the Three Years Ending March 1977 Date of Issue: August 1977 EDITORIAL COMMITTEE Members who participated in editing this issue of the Proceedings were: Berry Baker, Eugene Eisenmann, John Farrand, Jr., and Mary LeCroy. The Committee wishes to thank Alice Oliveri for typing manuscripts. Catherine Pessino, Editor Breeding Populations of Terns and Skimmers on Long Island Sound and Eastern Long Island: 1972-19751 DAVID DUFFY By 1972, it had become apparent to many working on colonial sea­ birds that the nesting terns and skimmers of Long Island were being increasingly exposed to a broad spectrum of pressures that might be causing severe changes in their populations. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) had been implicated in birth deformities of Common and Roseate Terns (Sterna hirundo and S. dougallii; Hays and Risebrough 1972). Mercury had been linked to feather loss in young terns (Gochfeld 1971). Egg shell thinning had been noted at several colonies in the area (Hays, pers. com.; pers. obs.); such thinning is believed to be caused by deriva­ tives of DDT (Wiemeyer and Porter 1970; Peakall 1970). Further pressure on tern populations had come from invasions of nesting sites by rats, development of recreational beaches, human harassment, and natural suc­ cession rendering colony sites unfit for nesting. For all of these factors there were only scattered and often anecdotal accounts of acute situations. What, if any, long-term effect there might be for the tern populations was unknown. Were Common and Roseate Terns holding their own? Or were they, instead, retreating to a few, safe colonies as their populations declined? Little as we knew of Commons and Rose­ ates, we knew even less of what was happening to Least Terns (Sterna albifrons) and Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger).
