Invasive species eat and move all the other animals to another place. They are terrible animals and plants! They can kill and hunt all of the other animals in Long Island Sound until there are only them left.

We all hope you learned enough about Invasive species, non- piont source pollution, point- source pollution, the Housatonic Watershed, and the threats to the Sound to help preserve this amazing treasure. These threatened species are leaving the sound and in their place of the invasive species. They take over animals homes and claim them as theirs. Without pollution and invasive species the Sound would be a superb place for organisms to live. We still have problems like how phytoplankten causes low oxygen to the sound which causes aquatic animal to move away or die.. I also hope that you have learned some interesting facts about the sound. For example, that the Long Island sound use to be a glazer 65 feet deep intill people came and the ice drifted away. Invasive species are not the only ones that are hurting our Long Island Sound. We our using to much fuel and factories fuel goes into long Island Sound. Sewage treatment plants our not helping either. If more people learn about what goes on in the Sound they might help. So spread the word!!!
