D+Group+2

 Right now, the Sound is like a vessel in the sea with a leak. It can't patch the leak all by itself. If that vessel is going to make it back to shore, its going to need some help. So lets patch that leak. Take our tour and you will learn about how the Sound is in danger and learn ways that you can help protect it. The Sound is an estuary that is threatened by invasive species and mankind. Species are being released into the Sound, species that were intended to help, not do damage. These creatures, like the Lionfish or the Mute Swan, have become overpopulated and are killing the local species. There also information about our local watershed, the Housatonic.

Thank you for tagging along throughout our trip. As you can see, the LIS is a wonderful place that deserves to be preserved. You know now what can be done, you know now how to do it, and what we need! Our spectacular visual tour told you the threats of LIS. We showed you the Housitonic watershed. The webspiration taught you many interesting things, and our Glogster teaches you about the invasive species of LIS. We have all of the tape to seal the leak, but not the energy or motivation. If we can just start to put on the tape, we will have a beautiful voyage on a wonderful ship.
