Long Island Soundkeeper Terry Backer and members of the non-profit Soundkeeper spend their days protecting and preserving the Long Island Sound through patrols, investigations and intervention, and by bringing problems with the Sound to the public's attention. Soundkeeper is an advocate for the Sound and the voice of concerned citizens. It is "dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the biological, physical and chemical integrity of Long Island Sound and its watershed." Members work hard to keep the Sound's waters fishable and swimmable. Donations are welcome.
