In order to prevent the contamination of the Long Island and Fishers Island Sounds and our island’s freshwater ponds, the Conservancy has worked to protect our plant, animal and aquatic life by:

• Challenging open water disposal of excessively contaminated dredged material as well as promoting alternative disposal practices that are less environmentally damaging.
