​What will our page tell you? Read on to find out. First, you will go on a visual tour of the LIS ecosystems and view the many plants and animals that live there. Next, you will learn the definition of a watershed and how our local watershed,the Housatonic flows into the Sound. In addition, you will read about the LIS's current health and some of the causes and reasons for each threat. Last, you will find out what happens to organisms that are not protected and how the Housatonic impacts the Sound. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! Be a part of the solution not the problem! ·  The Sound is very important to us so we need to help it. It is important to us because we need the Sound to live. Also many plants, animals, and organisms live in the Sound too. The three rivers that lead into the sound need to be clean because any of the waste that is in the river it goes directly in the Sound. Some of the threats long island sound has is pollution, gases, and also even waste. All of those actions can kill the Sound and everything in it. If the plants, animals, and organisms are not protected than that can be a huge problem. They will all die of pollution and other animals will die of starvation because there won’t be enough to eat. The Housatonic river impacts the Sound because all the waste that gets carried by the river goes directly to the sound and like I said before that’s a big problem.

While making this wiki our group has learned just as much as you. Even if you don't live in the New England area your local rivers will connect to your water supply. Protecting the Sound is important because there are speices there that you can't find anywhere else and need a home. There are also many invasive speices. Hope you have learned alot and thanks for following.
