Soundkeeper
The Soundkeeper embodies a powerful idea: Restoring and protecting the environment requires constant vigilance.
Long Island Soundkeeper Bill Lucey plays that vital role on the water. A watchdog, doing what’s possible only through direct contact: patrolling the Sound’s waters, engaging with you, the public, spotting new opportunities for restoration, and finding and stopping pollution with the help of our legal team.
The Soundkeeper works hand-in-hand with the Save the Sound program, legal, and legislative staff across Connecticut and New York to mobilize the public, enforce the highest environmental standards, and be Long Island Sound’s voice when legislators and agencies decide policy.
