Another fast fact presented by the Environmental Club: Did you know that the Long Island Sound helps to generate approximately $9.4 billion a year? The sound is used by ferries and ships to transport people and goods and provides commercial fishermen a place to catch oysters, crabs, lobsters, bluefish, bass, and flounder. It is also home to many nature centers and aquariums and is used for recreational activities, such as boating and bird watching. Come to the Environmental Club meeting to learn how to improve this important natural resource.
