 | 2025 Long Island Sound Beach Report – COMING SOON! Just before Memorial Day weekend and the start of a new swimming season, Save the Sound released its 2025 Long Island Sound Beach Report. The biennial Beach Report provides data-driven grades for more than 200 public and private beaches around Long Island Sound, based on water quality monitoring conducted by local departments of health. The results of that monitoring, as well as historical data for every beach, are available at SoundHealthExplorer.org. The 2025 Beach Report highlights the 10 highest scoring public beaches in both New York and Connecticut and calls attention to the 10 lowest scoring public beaches around the Sound. It also identifies some of the challenges common to beaches around the Sound—stormwater, wastewater, increased rain resulting from climate change—and explores potential solutions. Learn More.

 | 2024 Long Island Sound Report Card The Long Island Sound Report Card tracks and publicizes the ecological health of Long Island Sound. Our biennial report assembles water monitoring data and, using an assessment methodology designed for the Report Card, grades water quality in five open water regions of Long Island Sound and 57 bay segments along its margins. We provide the results to elected officials, environmental agencies, and the general public as part of our ongoing work to catalyze improvements in ecosystem health and promote restoration projects and infrastructure investments. All grades in the 2024 Long Island Sound Report Card result from monitoring data collected during the 2023 monitoring season. Learn More. Get your copy of the 2024 LIS Report Card!
