Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Ocean Commission Report identified the need for regional ecosystem assessments to support coastal and ocean management. These assessments must provide greater understanding of physical and biological dynamics than assessments at global and national scales can provide but transcend state and local interests. This need and timeliness is apparent for Long Island Sound, where a multi-state regional restoration program is underway for America’s most urbanized estuary. Synthesis of the Long Island Sound ecosystem is needed to integrate knowledge across disciplines and provide insight into understanding and managing pressing issues, such as non-point sources of pollution, coastal development, global climatic change, and invasive species. Currently, there is a need for a comprehensive volume that summarizes the ecological and environmental dynamics and status of Long Island Sound and its myriad ecosystems. It has been 30 years since a comprehensive summary of Long Island Sound was prepared and 50 years since the pioneering work of Gordon Riley. Major advances in estuarine science are providing new insights into these systems, and yet, the condition of many estuaries is in decline in the face of continuing coastal development. There is an opportunity to lay a foundation for integrative coastal observing systems that truly provide the foundation for improved decision-making. This book will provide a key reference of our scientific understanding for work performed over the past three decades and guide future research and monitoring in a dynamic urbanized estuary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Island Sound, covering almost 3,400 square kilometers of the region between Long Island, New York, and the Connecticut mainland, was studied using 700 kilometers of high-resolution seismic profiles and 75 vibratory cores to determine the geologic character and Quaternary history and evolution of the Sound, as well as to assess the resource potential of sand and gravel in seafloor deposits. The subbottom consists of igneous and metamorphic bedrock that crops out close to the Connecticut shore and slopes south to depths of -250 meters at the Long Island north shore. The bedrock surface under the Sound is highly irregular and exhibits relief on the order of + or - 30 meters. There are numerous buried river channels that generally trend north-south in the western Sound, and apparently project south under Long Island; a large east-west channel along the Long Island north shore that underlies eastern Long Island and Gardiners Bay, projects south to possibly join the Block Island Shelf channel. Many channels, deeply scoured by Pleistocene glaciers, project south from present-day rivers along the Connecticut shore. The deepest channel at 244 meters MSL underlies New Haven Harbor and trends southwest past a bedrock high at Stratford Shoal and then projects south under the Long Island mainland.
