Dolphins Reappear in Long Island Sound
A pod of about 10 bottlenose dolphins was observed in Long Island Sound, reflecting an increase in sightings over recent years. Improved water quality, warmer waters due to climate change, and an abundance of prey such as river herring are likely factors contributing to their rising presence. Historically abundant before the 1940s, dolphins declined due to water deterioration and overfishing but have begun appearing more regularly since 2009. The trend indicates changing marine conditions, with dolphins now thriving in the area more consistently during the summer.
