If we are to revitalize The Great South Bay, we need to improve the health of the mainland. The mainland's groundwater is polluted, and its ecosystems are ravaged. The bay is mostly a symptom of this. Long Island needs to 'go native' and restore as much habitat as possible.

Your grandchildren will thank you.
