LWS tells us that the water quality is good, but people are still suspect. I think they may be on the right track with the wells, but anyone looking to bring industry here has to only look on the Internet to know the problems.

It made it fun to know there were 20,000 people against us.

One of the main reasons we need to monitor the water quality in the caves is because many people of Perry County get their water directly from wells.

If people like their water and they drink water, then they should be concerned. Maintaining the water quality not only protects people, it also protects the environment.

We need people to recognize that each individual can impact water quality by making small changes in their everyday habits. This grant will increase exposure to our messages about proper used-oil handling and automotive fluid best-management practices.

This consolidation gives us the best of both worlds: Island-wide perspective on issues like water quality and shellfish restoration, and enhanced commitment to protecting and preserving the local places where we have long had a presence. It carries the banner for the most innovative conservation work on Long Island.
