Save the Sound

Save the Sound leads environmental action across the Long Island Sound region — fighting climate change, saving endangered lands, protecting the Sound and its rivers, and working with nature to restore ecosystems. For more than 40 years, their team of lawyers, scientists, engineers, and advocates has been one of the most effective environmental forces in the Northeast. What makes Save the Sound unique is the breadth of their toolkit: legislative advocacy, environmental law, hands-on restoration, community science, and grassroots organizing — all deployed together toward a healthier Sound. Their work spans the full region, from Connecticut's inland watersheds to Long Island's North and South shores, protecting the clean water, open lands, and coastal ecosystems that define life here. From grading beach water quality at 200+ Sound-area beaches to removing dams that block migratory fish, to organizing cleanups and planting living shorelines — Save the Sound turns science and community into action that lasts.
