Long Island bays see algae improvements
Long Island’s water quality issues, including bacterial contamination and algal blooms, have historically impacted beaches and bays. Recent infrastructure improvements, such as stormwater filters and sewer projects, have led to reductions in bacteria levels and hypoxic zones, notably allowing Crescent Beach to reopen after nearly two decades. However, ongoing concerns persist with stormwater runoff, toxin-producing algae, and the effects of climate change, which threaten to exacerbate future water quality challenges.
