In 2001, two experienced divers who are also scientists at the University of Connecticut in Groton created a photographic journey of Long Island Sound on CD. A limited number of copies of “An Underwater Tour of Long Island Sound” are available for free upon request by using our contact form. You can also view an abridged version of the tour that appeared in the Long Island Sound Study’s Sound Health 2003 report. The photos were taken by scientists Peter J. Auster and Robert DeGoursey, and the text on the CD was written by Auster and Sara Schaub. (No reproduction of photography or text is permitted without prior consent of authors).
