A healthy Long Island Sound is essential for environmental and human homeostasis.
This Next Generation Science Standards program engages interactive scientific study to foster student understanding of how human actions impact land and water resources. Guided by a marine educator, students from Long Island and Connecticut examine the Sound’s coastal habitats. Working in teams, they test their local water’s dissolved oxygen, salinity, and nitrates. They then investigate technological and behavioral solution models that promote long-term vitality and health of the Long Island Sound’s precious coastal habitats and resources.
