Long Island Sound has historically had a rich fishery, but in recent years the western part of the sound is effectively "dead". The fishing and lobstering industries have encouraged efforts to identify the cause of the dead water and rectify the problem.
Within New York City, the sound is bridged by the Triborough[?], Whitestone[?], and Throg's Neck[?] bridges. Further east, ferries provide service between Long Island and Connecticut, and underwater cables transmit electricity.
