Long Island Estuaries 9
Long Island is bordered by the South Shore Estuary, Long Island Sound, and Peconic Estuary.
The South Shore Estuary is 75 miles long, nestled between the south shore mainland and the barrier
islands. The Long Island Sound covers 1320 square miles between Long Island and Connecticut; it is a
massive local ecosystem that is estimated to provide $5.5 billion to the local economy each year.
The Peconic Estuary is a complex of bays, inlets, creeks, and harbors situated between the north and
south forks of Long Island and stretches from the headwaters of the Peconic River in Brookhaven to its
end in Block Island Sound between Plum Island and Montauk Point. It spans more than 125,000 land
acres and 158,000 acres of surface water.

damage equipment and compete with native
species. Anglers and boaters may unknowingly
introduce AIS into new waters.
