Long Island Sound
The estuary between Long Island and Connecticut, shared by two states and millions of people.

Long Island Sound is an estuary — a place where fresh water from rivers mixes with salt water from the ocean. Low oxygen conditions caused by excess nitrogen have been a long standing problem. Legislation often deals with nitrogen reduction, shellfish restoration and shared management with Connecticut.
