The U.S. Ocean Commission Report identified the need for regional
ecosystem assessments to support coastal and ocean management.
These assessments must provide greater understanding of physical
and biological dynamics than assessments at global and national
scales can provide but transcend state and local interests. This
need and timeliness is apparent for Long Island Sound, where a
multi-state regional restoration program is underway for America's
most urbanized estuary. Synthesis of the Long Island Sound
ecosystem is needed to integrate knowledge across disciplines and
provide insight into understanding and managing pressing issues,
such as non-point sources of pollution, coastal development, global
climatic change, and invasive species. Currently, there is a need
for a comprehensive volume that summarizes the ecological and
environmental dynamics and status of Long Island Sound and its
myriad ecosystems. It has been 30 years since a comprehensive
summary of Long Island Sound was prepared and 50 years since the
pioneering work of Gordon Riley. Major advances in estuarine
science are providing new insights into these systems, and yet, the
condition of many estuaries is in decline in the face of continuing
coastal development. There is an opportunity to lay a foundation
for integrative coastal observing systems that truly provide the
foundation for improved decision-making. This book will provide a
key reference of our scientific understanding for work performed
over the past three decades and guide future research and
monitoring in a dynamic urbanized estuary.
