 | 2024 Long Island Sound Report Card The Long Island Sound Report Card tracks and publicizes the ecological health of Long Island Sound. Our biennial report assembles water monitoring data and, using an assessment methodology designed for the Report Card, grades water quality in five open water regions of Long Island Sound and 57 bay segments along its margins. We provide the results to elected officials, environmental agencies, and the general public as part of our ongoing work to catalyze improvements in ecosystem health and promote restoration projects and infrastructure investments. All grades in the 2024 Long Island Sound Report Card result from monitoring data collected during the 2023 monitoring season. Learn More. Get your copy of the 2024 LIS Report Card!

 | 2023 Beach Report Card Based on the results of the SoundHealthExplorer.org website, Save the Sound released its third biennial Long Island Sound Beach Report. The report highlights the 10 highest scoring public beaches in both New York and Connecticut based on water quality, calls attention to the 10 lowest scoring public beaches around the Sound, and presents comprehensive grades for 200+ swimming beaches on Long Island Sound. The Beach Report explores some of the challenges facing beaches around the Sound – stormwater, wastewater, increased rain resulting from climate change – and explains how the specific sources of pollution tend to be hyperlocal, as are potential solutions.
