The panel topic will center on Long Island Sound<\/strong>, the vital estuary that lies between Connecticut\u2019s southern shores and New York.\u00a0 The Sound is a recreational, tourist and economic resource generating an estimated $5 billion in annual revenue through power generation, recreation, commercial fishing and shipping.\u00a0 It\u2019s also an important bellwether of the environmental health of our water resources. The Sound is home to 28 million residents living within 50 miles, 100 sewage-treatment plants lining its shores, roughly 120 species of fish and hundreds of bird species.\u00a0<\/p>\n
